So you had a trip worth thousands but only have insurance to cover you up to 1000?

Only up to £1000 and god knows know to get written confirmation from Eurostar!

So you spent thousands on a weekend away. It only took insurance to cover you up to £1000 ????

Also from experience with ANY cancellations on Eurostar ALL passengers get a letter at check in so you would have gotten written confirmation on the day (that is if you booked to go in the first place)

But your travel insurance will cover it, surely?
Only up to £1000
So a valuable lesson for us all: get adequate travel insurance, because you never know when you might need it.

It's not like it's awfully expensive; I buy an annual policy for Europe each year with additional cover for my medical conditions, which has £5k cancellation cover, and despite a significant hike in price when I got a new one last year it's still under £50. I suspect the prices will jump again if we're out of the EU/EEA and no longer eligible for an EHIC.

I'd absolutely recommend that anyone who travels more than once a year buys an annual policy. It's one less thing to worry about when planning, and the prices are good.
