Portugal, Switzerland and Spain 'great last-minute bargains'
With some 300 days of sunshine per year and plenty of beaches, Brits may need to renew their travel insurance and grab a cheap flight to the Algarve, Sam Baldwin from Skyscanner noted.
He added that the Portuguese resort has something for everyone including couples looking for a romantic break, those who like to party in the evenings and plenty of family-friendly activities.
Travellers looking to take part in some more active fun on their summer break might want to consider heading to the Swiss alpine resort of Geneva.
Once the snow has melted away, the destination is popular with hikers and mountain bikers, Mr Baldwin explained, but people should make sure any activities are covered under their travel insurance policy.
Those looking for a traditional Spanish break may find getting to Malaga is also good value at the moment, he added.
Some 236,000 holiday accidents could have been claimed for in 2008 had travellers taken out a single trip insurance policy, according to InsureandGo.
