Check your cover, says Legal & General travel insurance boss

Most travellers do not know the value of their luggage and could lose out on travel cover as a result, new Legal & General travel insurance research has shown.

Garry Skelton, insurance marketing director with the company, said: "Holidaymakers seriously undervalue the contents of their luggage. Many of us forget the actual value of the suitcase itself."

Over 50 per cent of people think their luggage and contents are worth £500, but Legal & General travel insurance calculations show that the average value of bags for a family of four amounts to more than £2,500.

With almost a million Brits heading for the slopes and another eight million off to the sun, it is also important that travellers check that their insurance covers what they need before flying off for Christmas, Legal & General said.

The company urged holidaymakers to check what is covered by their policy, including what excesses apply and what the policy says about winter sports activities and equipment.
