EBOOKERS.ie has noticed a massive increase in the number of people buying travel insurance, with an increase of 117% in bookings so far this year.

Steven Rice, Marketing Manager for ebookers Ireland and Britain, claims there is a much better general awareness of the importance of getting insured for travel, and an increasing number of specialist travel insurance companies are in existence, for example, insurancebookers.ie.

Customers no longer have to rely on their travel agent to “bundle” insurance as part of the overall package, which usually works out a lot more expensive than buying it from a specialist vendor.
