Why do I need Insurance?

As more and more people choose to holiday in the UK, the need for Travel insurance will increase. While purchasing cover for foreign holidays is commonplace, having travel insurance for UK-based holidays can be just as beneficial to have in place.

There are some important things to consider when purchasing Travel Insurance:

  • Travel insurance can be purchased as soon as you’ve booked your holiday, the longer you leave buying insurance then the greater the risk you’ll need to cancel for a reason that would have been covered by insurance.
  • Cancellation and curtailment (cutting short) of your holiday are the main areas that most people will want to protect against however there are many other aspects to the cover such as travel delays, loss or damage to baggage and any accidental damage you may cause to the place you are staying.
  • As with all insurance cover, some exclusions, excesses, and limits may apply.

FAQs

Is there any limit on when I can take the policy out?

You can take out a policy when you book your holiday right up to the day you are due to travel or at any time in between.

Do you cover sports and activities?

Yes we do, however, certain sports and activities such as Paintball, Go-Karting and Sailing are excluded under personal liability cover and these are detailed in the sports and activities section of the policy wording.

I live outside the UK but have booked a holiday on a park in the UK, can you cover me?

Unfortunately not, we can only cover you if you legally reside in the UK and have a residential address you can refer to.

I’m going on holiday with a group of friends, can you cover us?

Yes, but you’ll need to buy separate policies as we only cover individuals, couples or families, not groups.

Do you cover pre-existing medical conditions?

Any claims for losses as a result of a pre-existing medical condition are not covered unless they are listed as a waived condition in your policy wording.

I’m travelling to a park in France, can I take out cover?

No our policy only covers holidays in the UK.

I have more than one UK holiday booked this year, can you offer an annual policy?

At the moment our policy covers single trips, so you’d need to take out a policy for each of your UK holidays. It has been designed to be sold alongside a booking.
