WorldWide Travel Tips

The Australian Government wrote an interesting article that really highlights why it is important to take out travel insurance when you are traveling overseas.

I think the most compelling part is that medical evacuations in the United States can cost as much as $300,000! That’s pretty staggering, and if you don’t have insurance, how are you expected to pay it? Even in countries like Bali you can pay in excess of $60,000 to be treated. That really puts a $200 dollar policy in perspective.

Before you go traveling, you really should get a few travel insurance quotes from companies like HBF, and find one that’s best for you. As smartraveller says “If you can’t afford travel insurance, you can’t afford to travel!” And that’s true. Accidents and illness may not be likely, but if something happens it is probably unavoidable and the only thing that can save you from a financial mess is proper coverage before you go.

Don’t take a risk when you travel. Make sure you are insured.

You do not want to pay a premium just because you can see the Big Ben from your hotel room as there are cheaper options elsewhere. Although it may not be such a bad idea in itself, if you are on a tight budget then you are advised to stay away from such London hotels.

There’s only one way to explore Tenerife, and that’s by car! Whilst this seems relatively simple, driving in Tenerife requires a little more than a driving licence and a hire car! Tenerifian’s are renowned for being erratic drivers, so there are a few things you ought to bear in mind before you brave the roads on your Tenerife holidays.

First things first, something definitely worth remembering is that like many European’s, they drive on the wrong side of the road in Tenerife! Pedestrians should be another of your key concerns, whether you are driving or spending the day as one!

Stopping for pedestrian crossings isn’t top of the list for drivers in Tenerife, so make sure you check the driver really is slowing down before you cross!

Most of the roads are generally quite quiet, and there’s plenty of interesting places to visit en route to your destinations, just look out for the signs along the road! Drives through the mountains are a great way to enjoy the beautiful scenery, so long as you are confident enough to tackle often steep and windy roads!

If you are staying at the quieter resorts on the island, hiring a car gives you the freedom to travel to nearby attractions in the day and catch the entertainment at the livelier resorts at night. If you choose Costa Adeje holidays, the islands capital Santa Cruz and the lively resort of Playa de Las Americas are just a short drive away! Driving on your Tenerife holiday gives you the freedom and flexibility to do what you want, so don’t be put off, just remember to keep these few things in mind!
