Travel insurance in detail
It is always worth discussing your requirements with an expert as your travel insurance will be influenced by a number of key considerations including: number of travellers, location, activities planned, and purpose of trip e.g. holiday or business. Options available when purchasing travel insurance include:
Medical expenses
Personal belongings
Personal accident
Delayed / missed departure or cancellation
Legal expenses
Money
Personal liability
Lost passport
Winter sports cover
Adding a winter sports extension to your policy is essential if you’re planning to partake in any winter sports activities. This will ensure you’re covered under the medical expenses section following accident or injury.
Most policies will also provide cover for:
Ski equipment
Ski hire
Ski pack
Cover for a range of activities including skiing, snowboarding, sledging and more.
Check your policy wording for full terms, benefits and exclusions.
Adrenaline activities
Many sports, such as scuba diving, white-water rafting, and skydiving, may be excluded from your insurance policy given the additional injury risk they carry. Please call to speak to a holiday insurance specialist to make sure you’re covered.
It is important to note any Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advice on destinations, as most travel insurance policies will have exclusions for cover if the FCO advises against travel to that country.
Medical costs and litigation costs also vary drastically in USA and Canada and it is important you have a policy that includes these destinations if they form part of your plans.
Pre-existing medical conditions
It is vitally important that you declare any pre-existing medical conditions (PEMC), no matter how minor, when purchasing a policy.
The FCA estimates there to be up to 14.1 million consumers with a PEMC that look to purchase travel insurance each year. Of these consumers, approximately 0.7% were declined cover, and 11% purchased a policy with an exclusion for their PEMC.
The Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) has launched a travel insurance directory for people with serious pre-existing medical conditions to help them find suitable insurance cover if we’re not able to help.
