Do I need travel insurance to Jersey?

Despite being a British Crown dependency and having close links with the UK, the Island of Jersey is officially self-governing with it's own separate legal and healthcare systems. As such, having adequate travel insurance in place is desireable for UK citizens travelling to Jersey.

While a Reciprocal Health Agreement does exist between Jersey and the UK (which in some instances can mean exemption from certain emergency medical costs) this is no replacement for comprehensive travel insurance with medical cover, as you could still be liable to pay hefty medical charges.

Annual travel insurance

An annual multi-trip policy could potentially save you both time and money as you'll only need to book and pay once for your travel insurance policy.
