With the Six Nations gearing up for its third weekend of international rugby clashes fans are being urged to make sure their travel insurance is adequate when they travel overseas.

The Six Nations tournament covers England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Italy and France. This weekend will see an exodus of England fans visiting Paris.

Halifax Travel Insurance is advising those travelling to see games in Ireland, Italy and France to check their insurance coverage before they go.

Single trip travel insurance accounts for half of all sales, and it may be cheaper to purchase an annual policy rather than multiple, or sometimes even just one, single trip policies.

Halifax’s Paul Birkhead explains that although eager fans frequently check their tickets and passports when travelling overseas, their travel insurance is a background issue when it could prove vital.
