Research from American Express Insurance Services reveals that almost four in ten (39%) working Britons admit to having no time for themselves at the end of each day.
Chris Rolland, Head of American Express Insurance Services commented: "With so many cheap flights and last minute holiday deals available to Britons, taking a mini-break is all the more appealing.
However if people are planning to go away more than once this year, it is far more cost effective to buy an annual insurance policy than numerous single trip products, giving them peace of mind all year round.
"We understand that holiday costs can add up, but by investing in annual travel insurance, Brits will save in the long run and be free to enjoy several breaks throughout the year." For further information on American Express Travel Insurance: Single trip travel insurance (Europe, 1 week in July) is ?17.10 (if bought online).
Annual European travel insurance is ?29.45 (if bought online).
