Short UK Glamping Break - worth booking 3rd party insurance?

ydrol2

Hi We've booked a short 3 night "Glamping" break in Sussex. Less than an hours drive.

Approx £300 - They offer flex booking for an additional £100 (allows date to be changed up to 24 hours in advance).

I was wondering if instead it might be worth looking at some kind of 3rd party insurance. At least that would cover illness - but maybe not bad weather? If so any recommendations?

For £300 I'd personally not bother. 

Insurance will have an excess probably 

Short trip , travel insurance, id expect only a few pounds

We went for 3rd party insurance. £5.04 premium with £50 excess. did fancy being out of pocket £300 should the worst happen.

What does it cover?  Presumably for illness they would require you to have seen a doctor to pay out, which might be tricky.  Is there any cover for weather problems that you mentioned?

I suspect that trying to make a claim if anything were to happen could be very difficult.

£300 is the total cost or per person? 

How many people are going? The excess will be per person

Hopefull wont have to find out! If not I'll be prepared to write it off £5.04 and the booking.
