Check home insurance for golf holidays in Spain |
20th March 2008 |
|
|
|
 Britons taking golf holidays in Spain may not need to take out supplemental travel insurance to cover their clubs and equipment, one commentator suggests.
Graeme Trudgill, technical and corporate affairs executive for the British Insurance Brokers' Association (Biba), notes that golfing equipment may be covered by home contents insurance even when taken on holiday.
However, he added that if travel insurance is taken out for transporting equipment on golf holidays in Spain, it is important to check that the policy provides adequate protection.
"Golf clubs can be valuable, so look at what the limit is on your travel insurance to see whether it covers the golf clubs," Mr Trudgill commented.

 Britons travelling on Spanish holidays should seek advice from the local authority of the region they are travelling to before placing a lock on their luggage, it has been reported.
According to Travelfinders, it is important to bear in mind advice for the individual location holidaymakers are travelling to when choosing whether or not to place a lock on their checked-in baggage or not.
For example, a spokesperson for the company noted, those travelling to places in South Africa would be advised to keep locks on their cases.
However, in the United States "it's best not to lock your bags" as the authorities have the right to check them thoroughly and can even break locks in order to remove them.

As reported by the American Chronicle, family holidays in Spain are set to increase in 2007 compared to last year, despite increased competition from eastern European countries.
Flooding across Britain during the summer months led to "mass holiday bookings" of Spanish holidays with Majorca continuing to be popular despite environmental concerns based on aviation.
The news comes after a disappointing summer was expected for Spanish holiday figures after an unseasonably warm April in the UK contributing to a slowdown in the market, the article notes.
