The cost of the average UK wedding is now around ฃ17000.00. That’s a lot of money as i’m sure you know.

Months and months of meticulous planning culminate in one day, a day designed to be a memory that will live in all those who are present for a long time to come, especially the happy couple.

There are a number of 3rd parties involved in a successful wedding day. Caterers, hair stylists, beauticians, car hire, DJ, hotels and venues, photographers, the list goes on and on.

It’s no wonder then, that specialist wedding insurance has arrived on the market.

With so much financial interest in what amounts to no more than 12 hours of wedding, it is entirely natural to want to protect that investment.

It is usually the bride or groom parents that are footing the bill, of course they are hoping for a mishap free special day, but the smart ones make sure that should anything go wrong, they are covered.

Everybody has heard the horror story of the best man losing the rings but to be honest, that’s just one of the many problems that can occur.

Imagine if you have hired a marquee and one of your guests trips over a guy rope and breaks a leg, i know this sounds harsh but it does happen. It is you who needs to be insured for public liability in this instance, not the venue.

The photographs might not turn out. That’s bad enough, but at least with wedding insurance, the cost of retaking the photographs will be covered.

Caterers may not turn up, a guest may get food poisening from the wedding buffet.

This all sounds extremely pessimistic i know, but with insurance starting at around ฃ50, you would be mad not to take it out.

Because there is now a specialist wedding insurance out there, you will find that almost everything wedding related you can think of is covered in the policy.

Wedding dresses & rings, marquee damage, public liability, 3rd parties not showing up as promised, unexpected cancellation and much more besides.

The great thing about wedding insurance is, compared to the cost of the wedding itself, it costs peanuts.

I’m sure that the brides parents would be able to sit back and enjoy the wedding more knowing that the 3 year old nephew breakdancing on the dancefloor, won’t bankrupt them should he breakdance into the wedding cake, forcing everybody to eat it off the floor.

Hey, it happens!

If you’re living in southern California and you happen to rack a rare, precious day out what are you going to do with it-pay yet another visit to the tired strip mall down the street? Or take advantage of proximity and hop the border to Mexico?

Thousands of Americans can’t be wrong. Mexico is a great place to visit, and it’s located within convenient driving distance of plenty of cities in SoCal. Before you hop behind the wheel, however, make sure you’ve got all your ducks in a row and plenty of auto insurance to keep you covered on the trip.

Ideally, your California auto insurance policy would be enough to keep you protected when you hop over to Mexico. Many companies that operate heavily in SoCal have arrangements with auto repair shops to cover you within a certain distance of the California border, which makes life really easy for commuters who drive from Cali to Mexico every day for work. Some insurance companies don’t have this kind of handy dandy set-up, however, which is when you need to start looking into other options.

If you know that you’re going to be making a trip to Mexico, regardless of how long your stay is going to be take the time to contact your insurance agent. They can make your life really, really easy by letting you know whether or not your current policy will extend to where you’re going. If it doesn’t, they can probably give you a valuable referral to a company that specializes in hooking tourists up with short term insurance that can sell you a Mexican policy for the duration of your stay.

When it comes to car insurance, Mexico is even tougher than the United States. California drivers are required to carry a minimum of $20,000 in auto insurance coverage, although most usually pick up more just to be on the safe side. (A good auto insurance dealer will start selling policies at $50,000.) You can purchase these policies from dealer once you actually get to Mexico, but that’s assuming that:

a) You’ll be able to find a dealer, and

b) You won’t get into an accident on the way there.

You know what happens when you assume.

Instead, most people choose to err on the side of caution and purchase a policy from a dealer in SoCal that specializes in working with Mexican insurance. That dealer will take down the details of your visit, then connect you with a short term policy (usually either one day, one week, two weeks, one month or six months) issued by a Mexican auto insurance dealer for the duration of your stay.

You’ll be protected the minute you drive across the border, and your California auto insurance policy will pick you back up the minute you get back. Who could ask for anything more?

Overlanding shortly defined involves travelling in small groups and by a specific route to remote territories – places that are off the beaten track. This is what makes these trips al that exciting, as not many people have the opportunity to visit such areas. These trips are definitely not ordinary. They are for the fun loving, excited and adventurous at heart.

Tours can last anything between 4 days to 6 months and usually includes visiting more than one country. Group sizes are small varying from 10 to 25.

Overlanding is a very budget style of travel and accommodation, transport, National Park entry fees and most meals are included in prices. The idea behind an overlanding trip is to escape the busy City life and just become part of nature.

These trips are nothing boring; as it includes all levels of adventurous activities and is suitable for all persons with average to good fitness and good health. Tours are carefully planned so that each tour has its own optional activities. These activities can range anything from extreme adventure – like bungee jumping – to more fun adventure activities like elephant back safaris, scuba diving, white water rafting, fishing, horse riding …and the list just continues.

The great thing about optional activities is that you do not have to pay for anything you cannot afford or wouldn’t like to do.

You will however be expected to participate in limited amount of general duties on tour like washing your dishes, keeping the vehicle clean, setting up your camp and getting all muddy should the truck get stuck. This ensures that everything on tour runs as smoothly as possible and mostly so that there’s not a dull moment. All the more excitement!

Overlanding vehicles are generally specially designed trucks suited for the roads travelled on and can range anything from “rough-it overlanding” trucks to more luxury spacious trucks with comfortable seats.

The accommodation on tour can range anything from plain camping to budget National Park style bungalows or safari tents.

Local payments may be levied from tour participants in certain African countries. This is a very common on overlanding tours. Local Payments are essential in order to transfer the foreign currencies of the countries visited in order to operate the tours.

Your tour itinerary should state if a local payment will be necessary for the countries you will visit.

A good tip is to always carry US$ cash on you when on tour as US dollars are widely accepted throughout Africa.

Air fares to Africa are usually excluded in the tour price, but overlanding companies or booking agents are mostly able to arrange it on your behalf.

Travel insurance is very important and compulsory on overlanding trips. You must ensure that you take out adequate travel insurance to cover the type of activities you may be interested in. Certain overlanding booking agents or companies will even be able to arrange travel insurance for you.

What makes an overlanding tour so unique is that you meet great people, you experience so much about other cultures, and because you travel in a group, you have experienced guides by your side who will be able to explain all the inns and outs on tour – wherever you are off to.

So, my advice to you, if you are looking for an experience of a lifetime, pack your bag of enthusiasm, excitement and sense of humour and you are ready to head off to an African overlanding adventure of a lifetime.

Did you know you could be spending much more on your travel insurance policy than is really necessary? On average buying a single trip policy from a supermarket or similar for a couple with no health problems to a European destination can set you back by ฃ34 for that one trip. Spending just a little extra time and effort searching around can help you find premiums as low as ฃ8-9 for a single trip for 2 people. Of course you should be wary of the features a policy as cheap as this offers as you may find it lacks in some crucial areas. More often than not you will still have cover in all the basic areas you require.

An area where many constantly lose money is in the choosing of policy type. If you are aware you may travel more than once in a year, you could save money by opting for a multi-trip policy. As the name suggests, this will allow you to travel several times under the same policy which can quickly add up to a large saving when you consider the cost of a the average single trip policy. In general you may find an annual travel insurance policy (multi and annual will sometimes be branded together) the best value for money as this will allow you to travel at a higher frequency and for longer durations. The average cost of an annual policy for a couple falls at around ฃ79 (when purchased from a supermarket or similar). As you can imagine if you’d travelled 3 times during a year, which is not that difficult these days, you would have just paid ฃ132 on 3 single trip policies. If you utilise an internet comparison site you can quite easily find a similar policy for half of this price.

When looking at a prospective policy remember to check you are covered in all the areas you require. Cancellation and baggage cover can sometimes be optional extras so you should ensure you have these. Make a mental note to check the policy excesses in the event of a claim as these can vary considerably. Check the level of medical cover exceeds ฃ1 million and if visiting America try to get double this amount as it is not unknown for tourists to be quite literally bankrupted by private medical bills.

When you consider that the average annual policy allows you to travel an almost unlimited amount of times (each trip not exceeding a figure of around 45 days) you could save a large amount of money by utilising this type of policy. If you spend a little time looking and maybe utilising comparison sites you will find that cheap travel insurance is not all that elusive.

As much as you think otherwise, there is no hard, verifiable proof that men are any more or less of a driver than a women. However, the actuaries at the car insurance companies charge differently. For so many men out there, it is hard to admit that his wife or his girlfriend is just as qualified or just as safe as they are. It is painful to realize but that is the truth. There is no proof that a woman is more of a risk.

The only way we can even begin to settle this debate is to look at the statistics. What the numbers show is that men are more likely to cause accidents, have a traffic ticket, more likely to speed, and much more likely to be involved in a fatal accident. That’s the numbers people. Believe them. Here is a quote from the website Insurance.com’s Vice President, Sam Belden,”All the evidence points to young males having riskier driving habits than young females. Men between the ages of 16 and 25 are much more likely to be involved in accidents, or be cited for traffic violations.”

There was a risk analysis study funded by The American Auto Club, at Carnegie Mellon University in 2007, in part said, “men have a 77% higher risk of dying in an accident compared to women. The study, using information from both the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and the National Household Travel Survey estimated fatalities per 100 million trips to be 14.61 for men and 6.53 for women. The total number of fatalities between 1999 and 2005 were 175,094 for men and 82,371 women. Pure logic prevails in this matter. Have you ever been in the car with a young man between the age of 20-25? I am amazed that you survived to read this article. Very few young men are careful drivers. They do not have the skills to manage the road effectively. They have bad tempers and make very bad decisions. The insurance companies agree that young males make bad decisions and display their aggression in an open and direct way.

Young people will always pay more for car insurance just because they have no record of safe driving. But there are ways to keep those costs down. For example, ask you agent if there are any Safe Driving courses you could enroll your young ones in. Possibly they might learn some skills to help control their driving and develop into a safe driver. That is what we all want.
