Higher mobile call claims for travel insurers.

EUROPEMEDIA-(C)2002 Van Dusseldorp & Partners - http://www.vandusseldorp.com/

Travel insurers in the Netherlands have seen their operating results slide from 10 per cent last year to 7.5 percent in 2002.

The losses result from the increased use of mobiles by insured

holidaymakers to call home in an emergency, a cost that can be claimed back from travel insurers.

The Dutch like to play it safe with 83 per cent of all holidays taken abroad covered by some form of travel insurance, of which 63 per cent (an increase of 2 per cent on 2001) have all year round coverage. ((Distributed via M2 Communications Ltd - http://www.m2.com))
