Renowned for their drunken debauchery, hen and stag political party are an necessity part of any wedding ceremony plans. But, with increasing amounts of political party being held abroad it is important not to forget vital things like traveling insurance.
manager of Fairinvestent.co.uk, James Erskine Caldwell, comments: "Many stag and hen political party abroad take place over a weekend â€" the Easter weekend is ever popular because of the Bank vacation - and when it is such a short time period of time it is easy to think of traveling insurance as unnecessary.
"However, the likeliness is that there will be an increased intake of alcoholic beverage involved is high, significance the opportunity of accidents and illnesses is increased."
Furthermore, it is not just accidents and illnesses that traveling insurance screen, according to the FCO, lost passports and arrests are also park problems faced by British people holidaymakers.
New statistics from Egg reveal that as many as one in five reveler will lose valuable items and, without travel insurance these items will not be replaced.
Mr. Erskine Caldwell continues: "To traveling anywhere without travel insurance is a risky concern, let alone on a hen or stag do. I strongly advice the best man or maid of honor in complaint to make insurance a precedence, not only will luggage and valuables be covered but you will have peace of mind. Without insurance, checkup costs can run into one thousand."
According to the FCO, it could cost up to £3,000 to be returned to the UK in an exigency from any of the most popular stag and hen destinations such as, Spain, The The Netherlands or French Republic. In the case of an accident, a broken leg can cost up to £7,500 in Europe, and hospital stays can also add up to thousands.
It is also important to guarantee travel insurance covers for particular purposes; it is pointless having insufficient insurance, Mr. Caldwell concludes: "The importance of adequate insurance is paramount; for example, if a stag do involves skiing, party members must be covered for winter sports, similarly, if there are any extreme sports involved you must make sure you are covered because if anything happens you could end up with bills of over £10,000."
