Important Information
Our policies will provide cover under the emergency medical section only for COVID-19/Coronavirus/ Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARs-COV-2) whilst you are abroad. There is no cover under any other section of the policy for anything caused by or relating to Covid-19/Coronavirus/SARs-COV-2, any mutation of Covid-19/Coronavirus/SARs-COV-2 or any pandemic or fear or threat of any of the above.
Please note, our policies do not provide cover for cancellation, abandonment or curtailment claims if the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advises against all or “all but essential” travel. You must not travel against Foreign and Commonwealth Office advice.
Our policies will not provide any cover whilst the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) are advising against travel, however all the usual policy benefits will resume as soon as the travel ban is lifted. If you have a holiday booked, we recommend you buy a policy now, so that you will be instantly covered as soon as the travel ban is lifted.
* If the new trip is for a longer period, to a different destination, or more than 12 months from the adjustment date, there may be an additional premium.
