GinBoy2 10536 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 We have had countless threads on folks injured in Thailand without travel insurance, and few of us have much sympathy This poor guy I'm sure thought he had done all the right stuff, but as the saying goes, the Devil is in the Details. Insurance companies are sharks in suits! https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-64187351 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubascuba3 26856 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 That is a rubbish article, what was in the small print that caused the issue? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerno 2873 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 What fine print issue? You buy Insurance and should read and understand the Coverage and exclusions. Basic and straightforward due diligence by the purchaser. Obviously the guy did not do this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy 45737 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 An awful lot of people seem to get caught out by this sort of "30 days per trip" clause. I'm pretty sure it's a standard thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it's a standard thing. The article doesn't make it clear but if it was a freebie insurance with a bank account the cover is usually poor. If he'd bought travel insurance it would have covered him for the period specified. It's probably annual travel insurance, which often covers 30 days, 45 days, i think i got 90 days once 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeahbutif 656 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Mainly read the exclusion..... The motorcycle cover or not is a problem as it seems if covered always an escape for companies.if you technical should not be on the road.... Took an insurance once picked from confused.com and I put all my details in as asked including date of birth so they new how old I was. 60 I got a list of companies sent to me I picked one... When I came to claim fore am in minor thing.thay said I was too old Over 60 so be careful they should not have gave me a quote in the first place. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
