Travel cover

For the week that does not go to plan.

Cover for the things that actually happen on a trip like this: a cancelled leg, a bag that does not arrive, a hospital visit a long way from home. Add it to your trip and the policy arrives with the rest of your itinerary. It is written by a licensed insurer, named in full, with the terms and exclusions shown before you buy.

Before you buy

Who underwrites it?: A licensed insurer, named in full on the policy schedule along with their terms and exclusions. You see all of it before paying.
Who do I call if I need to claim?: Us, and we will file it and chase it with you. The decision on a claim is the insurer's under the policy, not ours, but you should not have to work out who to ring from a hospital in Nairobi.
Is it compulsory?: No. It is an optional add-on to any trip, and you can add it later as long as you have not travelled yet.
What is not covered?: The exclusions are set by the insurer and shown in full on the schedule. Read them. The common ones are pre-existing conditions not declared, and anything arising from activities the policy names as excluded.
