How can you avoid being over or under insured on your travel policy ?

You really don't want to pay for cover that you don't actually need. Neither do you want to find out when it's too late that you don't have sufficient cover. There's only one way to avoid either of these dilemmas and that's to find out what's covered in the policy before you buy!

Do you need special travel insurance for ski-ing holidays?
At the very least you should top up standard travel insurance with ski cover - but you are probably better off buying a specialist ski or extreme sports travel policy which gives you more extensive cover.
Like anything else you buy there can be a big distinction between one company's standard travel insurance policy and another. So to make sure that you are not paying for risks that you won't be taking, you need to check the cover features carefully.

For instance, there's no point paying for a policy that includes ski cover

if you are going to the Caribbean! However, if you are the adventurous type and you might have a go at paragliding while you are there, make sure you are covered for this particular pursuit. Otherwise you run the risk of being under insured without any cover whatsoever, should you be injured in an accident!

Either way, it's a good idea to keep in mind where you are going and what you will be doing in order to get the most appropriate travel insurance.
