Insurance

A few tour operators try to insist that you take out their insurance as a condition of booking flight-only deals. That will probably add at least $50 to each ticket, and maybe as much as $80. Offer instead to provide proof that you have taken out your own insurance - you can then shop around for the best deal. Often that will be an annual travel policy. It's possible, for instance, to get a year's multi-trip insurance policy for a family for as little as $140.

The important thing is to be sure you're covered from the moment you book tickets and accommodation. If you have to cancel because of illness, bereavement or redundancy, it's no good trying to take out insurance at that point!

Driving Documents

If you hire a car at your destination each driver will need to produce a full driving licence and passport (if you're pre-booking, remember to make it clear if you want more than one driver). If you're taking your own car, you will need a full set of car and insurance documents.

Passports and Vaccinations

Don't forget your passport! And make sure you check it well before your departure date - it's all too easy to overlook a passport that's expired, or to forget that children need their own passports at 16. Very few of the countries featured in these pages require visa applications in advance - if they do, the property owner should be able to tell you about it. A few countries outside Europe may refuse to let you in if your passport is close to its expiry date - again, the villa owner should be able to let you know. It's the same with vaccinations and health requirements, which apply mainly to tropical or third - world countries: if in doubt, check with your doctor.
