People looking to take advantage of a special birthday accommodation offer from website HostelBookers could consider buying
online travel insurance.
To celebrate its fifth anniversary, the website will be offering 50 beds each day this week until June 5th for just five cents each per night, with the offer beginning at 14:00 GMT each afternoon and available at hostels in Corfu, Barcelona, Valencia, Santorini and Alghero.
Backpackers, many of whom may have bought
worldwide travel insurance, will be able to buy the beds for travel between July 6th and 10th, while the website is also giving away birthday prizes including an ASUS 701SD Travel Laptop and £500 in cash.
David Smith, chief operating officer of HostelBookers, said: "This is the first time we have run a promotion on this scale but our anniversary felt like the perfect time - it's a way to say thank you to all our customers and give a little something back, after all their help over the years."
Meanwhile, Airflights.co.uk recently advised all holidaymakers to buy travel insurance before setting off on their trip.
