The Extras of Holiday Planning
When you plan your travels, it's easy to forget the extra details in your haste to find bargains and holiday availability. However, aspects like travel insurance and airport parking for your car - should you take one - are important boxes to tick.
Airport Parking
You've packed your bags and set the alarm to make sure you'll make your flight in time, only to find that come the morning of your trip, you're heading down to the airport with no place to park. It is recommended that with parking, you book ahead so that you're guaranteed a spot - here are two basic types to consider:
- On-Airport Parking - This allows you to park within the confines of the airport, but it's helpful to remember that where you park your car doesn't necessarily mean you are next door to your terminal so allow time for the possible extra journey.
- Off-Airport Parking - This is parking outside the airport's boundaries, which can
surprisingly get you nearer to your terminal than if you were to park within
the airport's building. Take a look at Holiday Extras for airport parking and more.
Car Hire
It's possible to drive to the airport using this method, and then you won't have to park. However, it rarely runs as less expensive than airport parking, unless you're going away for a very long time. Instead, you may want to drive when you arrive at your destination, rather than relying on unfamiliar public transport to get around. You can arrange worldwide car hire from Holiday Autos, part of Lastminute.com.
Travel Insurance
Getting travel insurance shouldn't be viewed as an optional extra. If something was to go seriously wrong while you're abroad, and we all hope it doesn't, then you'll be kicking yourself or worse not for taking out a policy. Take a look at these two options.
- Single-Trip insurance - This suits the annual summer holiday, or the traveller who only plans on splurging on one trip for themselves or their family during the year. A good travel insurance package will cover basic requirements like emergency medical attention and reimbursement for loss or theft of items. Take a look at Go Travel for more.
- Annual-Trip Insurance - This suits those who have to travel for business or for pleasure frequently throughout the year. You only need to travel several times a year to pick up the benefits of buying annually. It is cost-effective in the long run and saves you having to compare quotes every time you go on a trip.
