Travel insurance protects you financially from certain unexpected events that could happen while you're away. For example, lost baggage, holiday cancellation or emergency medical expenses. For more details on what's covered, take a look at our cover-level page.
Aim to purchase insurance as soon as you can after booking your trip. This means that you will be protected if you have to cancel your holiday unexpectedly before your trip.
We don't think having a medical condition should make getting travel insurance difficult. That's why we consider all medical conditions.
Our expert team are on hand to guide you through the quote process with absolute confidentiality and care. This will help us to determine if we're able to provide you with cover.
The cost of travel insurance can be influenced by a variety of different factors. Your age, how long your trip is, your medical history and where you are travelling to can all impact the price of a policy. Depending on these things, you could be considered a higher risk meaning the price of your policy may be higher. Here are some of our tips to try and keep the cost down:
Choose a higher excess - Opting to pay a higher excess can lower the price of your policy. Just make sure you are able to pay the excess amount in the event of a claim.
Consider a Annual policy - Got lots of trips planned this year? If you're going away multiple times throughout the year, it can work out cheaper to take out an Annual policy. This will cover you for every trip you take over the year.
Choose the right level of cover - When choosing your policy, consider whether the cover levels are suitable for you. For example, you may not want to take out a policy that gives you £5,000 cancellation cover if you only paid a couple of hundred for your trip.
