Why You Should Buy Kit & Trip as Soon as You Book Your Fishing Trip

1. Early protection means early peace of mind

The most immediate advantage of buying travel insurance for fishing trips as soon as you book them, is that your cover begins right away. From the moment your policy is issued, you’re protected against cancellation and curtailment — two of the most common and costly travel issues. Life is unpredictable; illness, injury, redundancy, or family emergencies can arise between booking and departure. Without early cover, a cancellation could mean losing hundreds or even thousands in non-refundable deposits and pre-paid expenses. Having fishing trip travel insurance in place from day one means that if the unexpected happens, your financial investment in the trip is protected.

2. Curtailment cover safeguards your fishing trip mid-way

Even once you’ve set off, events can occur that force you to cut your trip short — a sudden illness, a bereavement back home, or political or natural events at your destination. Curtailment cover allows you to recover unused travel and accommodation costs, as well as additional expenses for returning home early. By buying fishing travel insurance early, you ensure this cover is in place for the entire period from booking through to your return, rather than only part of your journey.

3. Avoid the “I’ll do it later” trap

It’s remarkably easy to forget about travel insurance amid the long list of pre-trip preparation tasks. Many Anglers have been known to simply run out of time and leave home without cover, assuming they’ll be fine. Unfortunately, that can lead to serious financial and medical consequences if something goes wrong abroad. Purchasing insurance as soon as you make your booking eliminates that risk entirely — it’s done and dusted, leaving you to focus on the fishing.

4. Medical and accident cover is essential

Whilst Kit & Trip cover with Angling Protect, provides you with fishing tackle insurance during travel and at your destination, its most vital function is safeguarding you. Accidents and illnesses can happen anywhere, and overseas medical care can be extremely expensive. A short hospital stay in Europe or the US can cost thousands of pounds; emergency repatriation could run into tens of thousands. With early cover in place, you’re protected from the moment you travel — whether it’s a slip at the airport or a medical emergency abroad.

5. Comprehensive protection from start to finish with Kit & Trip

By purchasing Kit & Trip at the time of booking, you lock in full protection for every stage of your fishing trip: before, during, and even after you return home if delays or baggage issues occur. You’re not just getting cover for your fishing tackle and your luggage — you’re securing your health, finances, and peace of mind.

In short, fishing travel insurance isn’t just a formality; it’s an essential part of responsible fishing trip planning. The sooner you buy it, the sooner you’re covered against the unexpected. So next time you book a fishing trip adventure, make Kit & Trip the first thing you do – what’s more once you have bought the policy, it will provide cover for every fishing trip during the year!
