Brits looking to escape the freezing temperatures to warmer climates are being urged not to leave it too late to buy travel insurance.

Research by price comparison site Moneysupermarket.com has revealed that 58 per cent of UK holidaymakers "drag their heels" when buying sufficient cover for their travels.

With the winter months forcing people to daydream about their summer holidays officials at the company are urging travellers not to let it be ruined by purchasing insurance too late.

Barclays recently found that one in five Brits head out on skiing holidays without any cover at all leaving them exposed should they have an injury on the slopes with countries such as North America and Canada charging into the thousands for medical fees.

Bob Atkinson, holiday insurance expert at Moneysupermarket.com, said: "Holidays often mean precious family time, and having cover in place as soon as you book your holiday ensures real peace of mind."
