Happy New Year, Everyone
Posted on 01 January 2026
We are gearing up for a busy 2026 and January, as ever, has started with a bang.
It promises to be a bumper year for international travel, with the CAA predicting 4.5 million people will be booking a holiday this month alone!
The January ‘peaks’ will lead to an increase in enquiries for insureurtrip, we are perfectly placed to help as our platform offers enough choice to cover the majority of your leisure travel enquiries.
That's one major benefit of having a panel of insurers at your fingertips, as well as the speed of producing several options by entering your details just once.
We’re here to help you support you with the cover you need to travel with confidence, wherever you're going.
Over the next few months people will be travelling further afield too, with Australia, Thailand, India and the UAE some of the most popular places to visit over the winter months.
With the cost of medical treatment abroad and repatriation continuing to surge, quality Travel Insurance remains a critical part of the planning process.
The ABI released new Travel Insurance claims data, with a staggering £472 million paid out in 2024.
Most claims were for emergency medical treatment and repatriation, with the average claim cost at £1,528 and one insurer paying out more than £1million on one case in the USA.
