Travellers urged to be honest

23 June 2006  Holidaymakers planning to pick up a quick travel insurance policy before heading off on their big trip this summer are being warned that they must be careful to disclose all the required information or their policy might not pay out.

A new fact sheet for customers is being introduced by insurer Norwich Union in the hopes of reducing the number of claims, on policies such as holiday insurance, which are rejected each year due to non-disclosure.

Chief underwriter at Norwich Union, Tony Jupp, commented: "Most people buy insurance products to protect them and their family in the event of something unforeseen happening.

"However, an insurer can provide cover for people only where they have all the information they asked for on the application form. Even now, one in five applicants think that we will automatically contact their doctor to ask for medical information but this simply isn’t the case."

Mr Jupp urged that people looking to purchase travel insurance take care to fill out all the forms truthfully and accurately as cover will only be provided where all the facts about an individual are known.

Norwich Union is part of Aviva which is the sixth largest insurance group in the world as well as the largest in the UK.
