Although Mexico has public health care available to its citizens/permanent residence through the Instituto Mexicano de Seguro Social, these services are not available to visitors.

The Travel Medical plan is a trip insurance that will cover you while outside your home country, including in Mexico. The

Sites such as Moneysupermarket.com and Confused.com, which sell millions of insurance, mortgages, phone and internet deals, led a boycott of the new voluntary code.

The Comparison Consortium was set up to provide a recognisable stamp of quality for the sales practices of price comparison websites.

The voluntary code was viewed as a last-ditch attempt to stave off compulsory Government rules on sales practices.

Gasping For Gap Insurance

February 10, 2010 – 6:15 am

Not too many people know about gap insurance, particularly when it comes to extending protection for their cars. Normally, people just get basic coverage for their cars and go on using their vehicles resting in their thoughts that they are sufficiently protected if ever accidents take place.

Yet, there is more value contained in a regular gap insurance policy than most motorists can ever dream about. For starters, have you ever thought about car depreciation? Just like all other things that have value, your vehicle will eventually suffer from this, and depreciation can happen sooner than expected.

Most likely, you are not aware of this, but your car actually begins to depreciate once it gets taken out of the factory.

Gap Insurance Prevents Negative Equity

February 5, 2010 – 10:04 pm

Many drivers think that they are fully protected with comprehensive insurance. In most cases however, they find out too late that it is not so. This is because in reality, cars immediately depreciate by at least 20% as soon as it is taken out of the dealer’s office for use. If something happens to this newly bought car, the comprehensive insurance will not be able to cover for this 20% depreciated value. For the car owner, this is an instant loss.

Guaranteed Asset Protection Insurance, otherwise known as gap insurance, is the right type of insurance that can cover for the said loss. A
