Looking for a new policy?

You can buy a new single trip, annual multi-trip or extended stay policy from us. You can also renew an existing annual multi-trip policy.

Any new or renewed policy bought now will not cover you for any claim directly or indirectly resulting from an epidemic or pandemic as announced by the World Health Organization (WHO) including but not limited to COVID-19.

Already have a policy with us?

Our existing policies do not cover travel to an area where the FCO advises against all or all but essential travel. If you have already planned a trip to one of the areas highlighted by the FCO, your policy may provide cover for cancelling your trip.

If you have any questions, we recommend that you check our FAQs section online before calling us.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
