Travel insurance
Protect your trip before you leave
A medical emergency, evacuation or serious delay abroad can become expensive very quickly. Travel insurance can help protect you from eligible unexpected costs and give you access to assistance when you are far from home.
Why cover matters
Travelling uninsured can put more than your holiday at risk
Your normal medical cover may not follow you overseas. If you become ill, are injured, need an ambulance or must be moved to a better-equipped hospital, you could be responsible for the bill yourself. Lost luggage, long delays and an emergency journey home can add further unexpected costs.
Insurance cannot prevent disruption, but suitable cover can reduce the financial shock and provide practical support when something goes wrong.
