Travel insurance: will your policy cover you if you fall ill on holiday this summer?

Holiday season is in full swing and while most trips pass without incident, thousands of Britons face falling ill while away.

And illness abroad doesn't just mean a touch of sangria-induced stomach problems. You, like celebrity Cheryl Cole - who is now on the mend after contracting malaria on holiday in tanzania - could pick up a nasty tropical disease. Most holidaymakers hope travel insurance will cover them.

Insurers paid out £274million for emergency medical treatment for British travellers abroad last year: £5.3million a week. But watch out - if you haven't taken the correct medicines or had the advised inoculations, your insurer might not pay up if you get a disease you could have been protected from.
