Why are Nationwide removing travel insurance?

It seems to me that it's an obvious mistake to remove travel insurance. On the one hand, you have a market that is largely unregulated - many people do not bother to get travel insurance and this does not seem to affect their travelling experience. On the other hand, if you do not buy travel insurance, you may get stranded, or die.

If there were a reasonable alternative to travel insurance that was not so expensive (and that could be done within seconds of needing it), I think more people would buy it. At the very least, it would be interesting to find out the percentage of uninsured travellers. This thread has been inactive for a while, but since it started up again recently, I'll post my 2 cents. I've always been able to get away with not having travel insurance, and I never know when I'll be getting in an accident or otherwise harmed while traveling. For example, my dad and I were coming back from a weekend in London when my car broke down in the middle of nowhere. Neither of us had travel insurance, but my dad did have a mobile phone and he called a cab for us, which ended up being very nice of them. My parents live in the UK, and I'm American, so we're not covered by my dad's insurance in the US (he lives in Chicago). We were also about an hour from the nearest city, so we would have had to call a cab to go get a mechanic to fix it. We were lucky that the cab driver happened to be in the area, and that he knew how to get back home to get a mechanic. If we hadn't had a taxi driver, we could have spent the night freezing in the car. My parents live in the UK, and I'm American, so we're not covered by my dad's insurance in the US (he lives in Chicago).

What does Trawick travel insurance cover?

Travelling is often associated with long haul flights, exotic hotels and expensive tours. You need to cover all the costs of your trip in the unlikely event that you suffer an illness or injury. If you are taking out travel insurance, you should take out cover for the following:

Emergency repatriation. In the event of illness or injury you will need to be repatriated to your home country as quickly as possible. This could involve a transfer by ambulance, plane or helicopter. You should ensure that you are covered to be transferred back to the UK if necessary.

Cover for emergency repatriation will cost a lot of money. The cost will depend on the destination of your trip, the length of time it takes for you to return to the UK and how many medical staff are travelling with you. We advise you to book travel insurance that is comprehensive, to cover you for all the costs of an emergency return home.

Medical costs. There are two types of cover for medical costs; Emergency Care and Treatment and Hospital Cover. When you take out travel insurance, you may be able to cover medical expenses resulting from illness or injury, if you need to be treated abroad. The cover you get for Emergency Care and Treatment is only available when you are staying at a hotel, hostel, guesthouse, B&B or campsite. If you are staying with friends or relatives then you will not be covered for medical treatment abroad.

You may also be able to cover the costs of any medical treatment you receive if you become sick or injured while you are travelling. The costs of this will vary depending on where you are staying.

We recommend that you take out Hospital Cover because this will include the costs of treatment at home in the event of an emergency. It is important to remember that some private hospitals have high charges for treatment and cover for treatment can be difficult to find. You may better off choosing a local hospital and contacting us for help in arranging cover.

Medications. Many people suffer from headaches, nausea and diarrhoea when they travel. We recommend that you take out travel insurance to cover the costs of medication for these illnesses, if you are suffering from them.

If you are taking medication, we recommend that you fill in a special form.

Airlines make some of the most frequent complaints that flight luggage is never located or lost within 24 hours or more of it being handed over. Airline representatives insist that if you miss your connecting flight, it's not their fault, since the flights are so often operated by various airlines and your flight number may or may not match the one booked. That's fair enough if you're taking two different flights but a bit ridiculous when you're talking about two connecting flights at different times on different airlines as in one of the world's most popular flights - the BA flight from Newark to SFO - which leaves at 11.50am and arrives in San Francisco at 12.20pm, an hour and 20 minutes after it left New York. The BA flight to Newark leaves at 3.25pm and arrives in San Francisco at 3.55pm. A simple mistake? Maybe, except that BA's own lost luggage department says that when that flight returns at 4.40pm (or whatever) it will collect bags and deliver them to your home address by an appropriate time on Friday the 13th (ie probably never).

It's also not a huge problem to book a flight with a slightly different destination, since the difference will usually be covered by BA's 'travel assistance' claim so I just went to the online customer support help pages for BA look up suggests that they cover the second flight to an extent but do nothing if it's a little later than your flight and it's only an hour and 30 minutes later. It costs 150 per flight (for your two flights) plus 20 (which is 150 times two - a whopping 300, unless you have very generous friends or family - and is only really possible if your partner is not working that day). If you're travelling outside the USA, I'd recommend checking with your own airline - my own was excellent - but for a US holiday you could find yourself spending 700 for an American Airlines trip that's a total washout.

Who underwrites Trawick?

If the Trawick bondholders ever sue to reclaim the company's property, does it make a difference who underwrites the bondholders' case? Or are all bondholders treated equally and there's no preferential treatment of a bondholder class? This is a complex issue. It was not completely clear to me even before the recent bankruptcy proceedings that if a company can't pay its debts as they come due, the company's creditors are at risk of not getting repaid.

One thing that seems clear is that there's a lot of uncertainty. You can try to read the financial reports and follow the industry and read the news and be reasonably sure about what will happen. The Trawick case is different because the company is so closely tied into the state budget. Even if the bondholders' lawsuit fails, they still have a seat at the table in any negotiations with the state. The state could buy out the Trawick bonds. Or the state could just walk away from Trawick.

In the meantime, it would appear that the state is buying Trawick's property from its bondholders. The state's attorney general, Gail Finkelstein, was recently asked about whether this was a legal transfer of property. She responded: We have determined that it is a transfer of property. So is the attorney general now saying that the state plans to buy out the bondholders? Or is she saying that they have already bought the property from the bondholders? I didn't ask for an explanation of what the attorney general meant. But I think it is important for the public to know that it is a transfer of property. If the state buys the property and holds it until it can sell it to the bondholders, that's a transfer of property. The attorney general's statement is also significant because it seems to suggest that the state may own Trawick's property outright. That's very different from the way the state originally bought the property from Trawick.

Back then, the state acquired Trawick's land by issuing bonds. The state has repaid the bonds.
