How to find the best travel insurance for your needs.

Almost half of us don't take out insurance when we’re travelling overseas. The recent air-travel interruptions caused by the volcanic ash from Iceland has drawn attention to the downside of this – it can be a costly mistake.

We compare cover and cost for 5 popular travel destinations, and explain what to look for and the traps to avoid when choosing your travel insurance policy.

Update: we've looked at long-term and domestic travel insurance.
