Travel Cheap But Don’t Be Cheap
June 10th, 2008 Tushar Mathur Don’t trust anyone about travel insurance
Never, ever tick those boxes that say ‘add cheap travel insurance’ when you book a flight, train ticket or hotel. It is highly unlikely that this option will be the best for you in terms of either price or cover. These boxes generally offer extremely limited cover at bumped up prices, and take advantage of the fact that £3.95 each way doesn’t sound unreasonable for ‘complete piece of mind’.
Don’t raid the mini bar
We all know that Kit-Kats taste better when you’ve just paid £2 for them, but there is no need to for such extravagance when there is a Spar on the corner of every street in the world. Stock up on drinks and snacks before you get to your hotel room, and if you must nick stuff from the bar then choose the easily replaceable stuff and buy new ones to pop back in the next morning.
Monday is free day
Many countries offer free admission to museums, galleries and exhibitions on Mondays so make sure that you take advantage.
