More and more people are under the misapprehension that the travel cover offered by their credit cards is adequate for their holiday. Unfortunately this is not always the case. Some only cover the holder for travel accident insurance on the outward journey, but do not offer any cover for baggage or medical emergencies for the whole duration of the trip.

Our best advice to all holiday travellers who do rely on this kind of policy, is to check fully the details and small print of the cover that is being offered before going abroad. Make sure you have sufficient cover for every eventuality.
