Looks Like Spain is Open

Gus, here's a typical example :

Whilst overseas travelling against F/O advice, the traveller personally accidentally / intentionally causes damage / inflicts injury to someone else or their property, they individually, or as a company then sue you for damages / reparations, the cost is £ ( insert shockingly high figure here ).

You have no travel ins' & therefore are personally liable for your own legal costs, damages awarded, etc etc.

It's happened many times before & will happen again.

Not a risk i ever have taken or would take.

I wasn't aware that 3rd party liability was included in travel insurance. I have relied on a CCI card for that for the last 30 years, doubt if that is negated by UK FO advice.

Personally, I dont get how the FCO can advise against travel to France when I believe every other country in Europe deems it safe to travel to. What is the difference in the information we have about France that Germany doesnt have ?

it isn't just travel to France but every country in the world as far as I can see.

You state that if fco advice changes then i wont be covered with travel insurance for the whole of my trip.
I have just trawled the web and can find nothing that confirms this.
Presumably you have read this somewhere but you also ask for contrary information. It is either a fact or its an opinion.
As for vehicle insurance i am covered. As i suspect everybody else is. But each person would need to check their own insurer

I was thinking of going to France on Tuesday and checked with 3 insurers. They all said that if you go out whilst the FO state no travel you have no travel insurance for all your trip. You cannot wing it for a few days and once the FO give the all clear your insurance will kick back in because you travelled whilst the no travel was in force.
