Insuremore Says Festival Goers Must Take Out Travel Insurance

This weekend thousands of people will head down to Worthy Farm in Pilton to celebrate the UK's most revered music event, Glastonbury. But with festival season fast approaching Patrick Chong of InsureMore (http://insuremore.co.uk/) is urging festival goers to take out an extensive travel insurance policy.

London, UK (PRWEB) June 28, 2009 -- As you pack your wellies and wet wipes it may not have even crossed your mind that you need to take a holiday insurance policy with you to your upcoming festival.

However, in 2008 213 crimes were reported at Glastonbury; this figure was up a third from the year before and with the vast amount of the crimes reported as theft, travellers that fail to take out travel insurance simply won't be covered against the cost of their items that have been stolen.

Patrick Chong, Director of InsureMore comments: "Many people fail to take holiday insurance with them to a music festival due to a mistaken belief that they are covered against personal possessions on their home insurance. However, in many instances this simply isn't the case, whilst some home insurers cover for items taken out of the house the policies which do simply aren't as extensive as the cover which is offered by holiday insurance companies".

Taking travel insurance with you to a festival doesn't just cover you in the event of theft, but can also provide piece of mind should anything else go wrong. With the rise of low cost airlines many people will be travelling domestically to their festival by plane and in the event that their plane is delayed or their baggage goes missing en-route having a valid holiday insurance policy means that they will receive the compensation that they are due.

With more people in the United Kingdom mixing their love of live music with the cheap travel available on the continent, travellers to European festivals such as Roskilde in Denmark or Bennecasim in Spain are also advised to check that they have taken out a travel insurance policy which covers all their needs.
