If you are thinking of choosing Lake Como or Italy for a holiday, be sure to get Travel and Health Insurance. Although we are in the EU and the Italian health service is very good, it makes sense to be covered for both travel accidents (this is the home of the Ferrari) and health issues.

We aren't saying that the Italians are dangerous drivers, but the Lake roads are narrow and sometimes congested. For hire care insurance, in our opinion, you should take the extras! For your own private car then make sure your insurance is covering all eventualities.

Health insurance is another matter and very important. Firstly if by any unforeseen circumstance you are taken ill, it is best to make sure you are covered, if you wish to be taken home. Italians, generally, don't speak much English, so although care may be good, communication with loved ones may not be so easy.

It may also be circumspect to be covered against loss of a holiday prior to leaving or on vacation. This can ease the financial burden if you need to cancel or cut short a holiday.
