We hope our suggestions for best destinations for Irish Holiday Makers in 2019 was useful to you, and that you might get to enjoy a trip of a lifetime with your loved ones.
Remember though, that no matter where you go, it’s always wise to take out travel insurance when you book.
There’s a massive benefit to arranging your travel insurance early. It’s that you are then immediately covered for ‘cancellation of travel’, should something happen to disrupt your plans.
For example, book a trip to one of these romantic destinations for Valentine’s Day, and take out your travel insurance today, and you’ll be covered if something happens next week that means you can’t go. But decide you won’t take out travel insurance until just before you, and you’ll lose everything if that same thing happens next week.
With our rates being so low, and our cover being so great, there’s no reason to delay.
Our single trip travel insurance starts from just €1.80 per day, and annual multi-trip travel insurance starts at €37.60.
Whatever policy you choose with Insuremyholiday.ie, you are assured of a high standard of cover at a low price.
