Questions you should ask when buying travel insurance. Most of the answers are provided on our quotation results page.

  1. Have I checked that pre-existing medical conditions of all travellers will be covered? In particular if you are buying cover for only one member of a party, will the other travel insurance policies cover additional expenses if that member of the party falls ill?

  2. Are there any close relatives who are NOT travelling whose medical conditions could affect the trip?

  3. Does the travel insurance policy cover medical expenses arising out of terrorist activity?

  4. Does the policy include cover for any dangerous or sporting activities members of the party may undertake?

  5. If winter sports cover is requested: does the policy cover those winter sports I may be undertaking?

  6. What excesses are on the policy especially the standard excess, the liability excess for damage to property and legal expenses excess

  7. If I have any problem during the trip is there a 24 hour medical emergency helpline?

  8. If I have a problem with a claim do I have a professional insurance broker to help me or will I be on my own?

  9. Have I read the policy summary (Key Facts Document) and policy wording and understand the requirements if I have to make a claim - examples could be: notifying police within 24 hours if something is stolen - obtaining permission for medical treatment.

Please note that we are not providing any advice. We will ask a few questions to obtain quotations and provide you with sufficient information so you can decide which of the cheap insurance product's) quoting you want. It is up to you to decide on the insurance policy most suitable for your requirements e.g. if scuba diving or bungee jumping are needed and we accept no liability should you buy an insurance policy that does not cover you. We particularly draw your attention to checking whether any medical conditions you have are covered, whether any leisure activities you may partake are covered in the insurance and also to the fact that, if you are not requesting cover for all members of your party, you should check that the insurance covering other members will cover their cancellation/ curtailment following the illness of the person you wish us to cover.

Please note that if you are pregnant and your expected delivery date is close to the return then medical treatment arising out of being pregnant may not be covered. We have provided an option to state how long your pregnancy is expected to last after your expected return.

NB1 The policies that quote will vary in the excess, winter sports and dangerous activities that are covered, the maximum number of days of winter sports available and of course, the maximum benefits under each policy section. Some excesses cannot be deleted. If your trip is not purely pleasure e.g.  business or work (including light manual work such as crop picking/ bar tendering) you should check that the policy allows you to do these activities.

NB2: Hazardous activities: We are able to quote hazardous activities e.g. scuba diving / pot holing, bungee jumping on referral if not listed on the quotation page.

NB3 The fact that a quote is obtained in a specific region does not mean that you are covered in that region if, e.g., you are travelling against government advice. You should check policy conditions and the FCO website.

NB4: If you are concerned about the length of the trip as worked out you should bear in mind that we include the day travelling out AND the day returning. This means  that a week's holiday e.g. Sunday to Sunday is Sunday: Monday: Tuesday: Wednesday: Thursday: Friday: Saturday AND Sunday i.e. 8 days.
