Traditional medical plans will offer domestic coverage but few are designed for international use. Even those who offer limited benefits do not normally cover medical emergency evacuation or repatriation. Different languages, currency conversion, inexperienced international claims and time differences can cause additional complications. We are dedicated to eliminating these uncertainties from international travel by making international medical coverage convenient and cheap through our online travel policies. Our site can cater for many different travel insurance needs such as;
If you will only be taking one holiday during the year, single trip insurance will be the one to buy. When booking you will need to give the start and end dates of your holiday and the cover will apply between those dates but cancellation cover will start immediately. Depending on where you are travelling to, you can opt for cover in the United Kingdom, Europe or Worldwide. Whether you are travelling alone, as a couple of in a family unit you can choose the policy best suited for your requirements. Your age is usually a factor in determining the price of a policy and it is the age you are when you take the policy out, not your age when you travel.
If you take a few holidays each year an Annual Multi Trip policy would be the one to choose. It offers the freedom to travel as many times as you like during a twelve month period. Depending on where you travel, you can take a policy for Europe or for worldwide cover. You would also be covered if you took a holiday in this country, as long as you were away for at least two nights in pre-booked accommodation. When booking an annual policy you need to decide when the policy should start. This should be the date that you want cancellation cover to start, not the start date of your holiday.
All travel must start and end in the United Kingdom and cover is for UK residents only.
