More Tour and Travel Advice for Europe

Contiki highly recommends having a travel insurance policy that covers:

  • Cancellation and Curtailment
  • Loss of and/or damage to luggage
  • Loss of money (cash), travellers cheques or personal belongings
  • Medical insurance

If you are bringing along expensive items such as jewelry or photographic equipment, check the value per item is covered by your travel insurance. If the coverage for these items is minimal you may wish to take out extra coverage on these items.

If you are participating in winter sports, it is highly recommended that your travel insurance covers this also.

Travel insurance can be obtained when you book through Contiki, through your travel agent or through insurance companies themselves.

  2. I�m impressed, I have to say. Rarely do I run into a blog site that is each equally educative and exciting, and with no doubt, you may have strike the nail on the head. The situation is a difficulty that much too couple of adult men and women are speaking intelligently about. I’m extremely happy that I identified this through my hunt for something about this.

  4. I bought insurance through Contiki for my European Contrasts tour leaving in April (I’m coming from the US). I ALSO bought insurance from Orbitz (for my flight on Virgin Atlantic). …I asked a Contiki person on the phone recently if I need both because I’m confused (even after reading up on both policies) about whether they are covering the same things…. she said (in her opinion because she is a “what if” girl…and coincidentally so am I) that having both may be good JUST IN CASE one doesn’t cover something, then maybe the other will.

    Is this over doing it?? I may still have some time to cancel one if they ARE the same thing. Does ANYONE HAVE ANY ADVISE??? Thanks a bunch!! :)
