We have written in previous articles about the importance of having travel insurance for your stag weeeknd. If you book any other sort of holiday then you are likely to book insurance so why not with stag weeeknds. In fact you are even more likely to need insurance with a stag weekend than any over trip given you will have a large group of sometimes 15 plus people. With such big groups you will invariable get someone drop out and then come knocking on your door for their deposit back.
No matter how many times we advise people to take out insurance for this very reason do you think they listen? This particular issue is now even more important with the spread of swine flu. Although we have yet to be asked for a refund due to swine flu it is only a matter of time before this happens. With the sread now becoming a pandemic then it is bound to affect some groups with people having to drop out. This is not just for travel outside the UK but just as important for travel in the UK.
This is why it is more important than ever to have the appropriate insurance in place to cover this eventuality. However when choosing a policy make sure pandemic or epidemics are not excluded from the policy. As this maybe the very reason you are taking tout the policy you don't want to find, when it is too late, that such things aren't covered.
Here's some further advice from the British Insurance Brokers Association and the NHS Q & A on Swine Flu
