Protect your plans
As soon as you have booked your holiday you should consider travel insurance. An annual plan will start as soon as you want and is typically good value if you are planning more than one trip. We did a quick quote on Comparethemarket for a break in France compared with an annual policy covering multiple trips to the EU – prices started at £5.55 for a individual in their 40s spending one week away and at £12.15 for a year. (These are very basic policies – if you want larger cash sums covered or fewer exclusions on what you can claim for, you will need to pay more.) Most annual trips will have a cap on the length of each stay. In some cases this is 24 days, so make sure that’s enough for your purposes.
