Travel insurance for Asia

How much travel insurance you need depends on what you want to be covered for and the type of trip you’re taking.

According to Which?, a travel insurance policy should include:

• £5 million for medical cover – this can help with emergency treatment, hospital bills, and repatriation costs.

• £2,000 for cancellation cover – or the full cost of your holiday. This makes sure you’re covered if illness, bereavement, or other unforeseen events force you to cancel.

• £1,500 for personal belongings – or the value of your possessions, giving you protection against loss, theft, or damage.

When choosing your policy, consider the specifics of your trip. Declaring any pre-existing medical conditions is essential to avoid issues with claims if you need treatment abroad. If you’re planning activities like skiing or scuba diving, check that your policy includes these or consider adding extra cover. For longer trips or multiple destinations, options like Long Stay or Annual Multi-Trip Insurance might provide the flexibility you need.
