You know what it’s like when you’ve been an avid follower of one sport or another - be it soccer to snooker to shinty (to name just a few examples).

With a wide variety of different tournaments happening all over the world, many sports fans go to great lengths to support their team - forking out what can equate to thousands of pounds of their hard-earned money on tickets, flights and hotels in order to follow them around the world.

But whilst thousands of fans may travel abroad to watch their teams in competition, many tend to travel without arranging some form of travel insurance before embarking on such trips.

However far the journey, sports fans are being reminded to take precautions and ensure they are covered for their supportive journeys. And with a wide range of cheap travel insurance policies available, many fans could find the cost of such insurance to be lower than first thought.

It is advisable to purchase some form of travel insurance before making your trip, and there are many types of policy that can cater for a range of budgets. Anything can happen when you go abroad, and it’s always best to have some kind of cover in place should you run into difficulties during your trip.

For those traveling to European countries it is also advisable to purchase a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) - forms are available from post offices and the card itself is handy to have in case anything should you run into difficulties during your trip. However, the card may not cover you for all medical and repatriation costs, and it can be a lengthy and costly process should you need to be flown back from your holiday for treatment in your country of origin.

For trips abroad to watch your team play it is usually advisable (and affordable) to take out a policy for a single trip - even if you’re just popping over for the day.

For those traveling over for tournaments and major events it is advisable to take out an annual travel insurance policy, rather than single trip policies - this strategy can provide peace of mind and also save money due to the length of the policy.

By spending a little on taking out travel insurance before heading out to watch their teams, passionate fans are now able to follow their teams whilst staying protected against any unpredicted events - but unfortunately penalty shootouts won’t be included in the policy!

When preparing to travel with a family, there can be a multitude of different things to sort out - from tickets to taxis to the airport, as well as packing clothes, equipment and toys in between. In amongst all the hassle of packing, arranging and ensuring your young ones will have enough to keep them occupied until you get to the hotel or resort at your destination, the thought of arranging insurance for your holiday might slip to the back of your mind.

Checking that you have adequate travel insurance before your trip is essential in order to ensure that you and your group are covered in the event of accidents and theft during your holiday. Annual travel insurance policies can be purchased for longer periods of time, should you be making multiple trips during a short period of time.

Such deals can often work out cheaper than single-trip travel insurance and can help cover all members of your group during your holiday your family from a range of factors.

When searching for cover it is important to shop around, research different policies and the type of cover that they offer and, most importantly, to read the small print to check for any snags which could affect any claims. Factors will depend on location and any planned activities during the holiday. Whilst activity holidays can be fun for all, but it is important to make sure you’re covered for sports such as jet-skiing and other activities that have an increased risk of injury.

It is also essential to ensure that your possessions are covered for the duration of your trip in order to protect against any financial loss as a result of theft, luggage and passport loss, travel delays and any other legal expenses. There are also a wide range of companies that specialise in and offer family travel insurance. These policies can be catered to meet the needs of your holiday and help to cover costs should you or your children require any medical assistance during your trip.

It is easy to think of yourself as immortal. After all, no one wants to contemplate about when they die. But all too often, people pass away before they are ready to and leave their estate unplanned and in the hands of the courts. It doesn’t matter how old you are, or even if you are extremely healthy, it is important to plan your estate so that you can ensure that things are taken care of the way that you want them to be taken care of.

Wills can be simple or can be very intricate, depending on your needs. With a simple will, you can decree what you would like to be done with any property you own, who you would like to have custody of any children you may have, and who you would like to be the executor of the estate. It is important, when choosing an executor, that you choose someone who you know will adhere to your wishes. Make sure that you talk with that executor so that they know exactly where you stand on many issues. You can also start a more complicated will, where you set up specific trusts for family or friends. Often, parents will set up trusts for their children to ensure that they are taken care of if something tragic should occur.

Some believe that it is necessary to have a Power of Attorney in order to execute the wishes you leave in your will. A Power of Attorney is not necessary in order to make your will be followed, but it is always recommended, just in case you fall ill and are unable to make decisions yourself. Planning for the future can be a hard thing, but the more organized and planned your will is, the easier things will be for those you leave behind.

Finding the best car insurance today seems to be more complicated than ever before. Even with the ever increasing number of comparison web sites competing to make our lives easier by all claiming to be the most comprehensive, comparing 98 per cent of the UK’s motor insurance companies, there seems to be a mixed message sent out to customers. On one hand you have the cheapest car insurance customers who are only really interested in price. On the other there are the ‘what about the policy features’ customers who ponder over having a courtesy car included in their policy or personal accident cover.

I’ve just completed a quick search on one comparison web site which claims to compare car insurance policies on the features available as well as the price. The top 10 insurance companies quoted in my search all provide 3 out of a possible 5 of the additional features anyway! I’d actually get a courtesy car, windscreen cover and personal accident cover as standard with these insurance companies so why do some comparison web sites go on and on about comparing insurance by features as well as price!?

I just hope that people using these web sites can actually find a better car insurance deal to suit their needs. Personally, as I said previously on the financial blog, all I’m interested in is price. I want to get the cheapest car insurance policy possible; I’m not interested in policy features.

Just do yourself a favour and make sure you check out a few comparison web sites when you’re searching for car insurance. If you get quotes from 3 or 4 of the main comparison web sites then you can be sure you’ve searched pretty much the entire UK car insurance market and you’ll have looked at the insurance policy features and the price.

Price wins every time for me!
