I normally dislike package holidays due to the whole cattle mart style of it but am going as I needed a break .
Budget travel- Mrs Niallers phones up to ask about tickets, Budget travel store say they will not issue tickets without proof of insurance.
I phoned up afterwards and asked if I need to have travel insurance if I buy a holiday from them . They say oh yes you have to have travel insurance, I asked why and they said incase you lose your bags or anything, very important. I said do you have to have it to issue tickets they say yes and that they won'y issue my tickets without it, I then said is it compulsory or can I sign a waiver as I've gone on holiday twice a year (booked independantly)for the last 10 years without insurance without ever needing it. yes you can do that.Just call in and sign a waiver.
Now why could they not just say that they recommend insurance but if anything happens you are on your own. ( We both have vhi so at least if anything medical is needed we are covered)
Some people will not bend over to tie their shoe lace without insurance incase they lose balance and fall over but why do they make it so hard to not have insurance. .
Very annoying. Rant over
Out of curiosity- Has anybody from AAM claimed from their holiday insurance?
