Travel insurance that covers coronavirus

Can I cover my holiday with travel insurance during the coronavirus outbreak?

Although it’s unsafe to travel right now, you can still buy travel insurance that can cover coronavirus for emergency medical and repatriation.

You can choose to buy either a single trip, or an annual policy to cover your travel plans. We’ve even extended our annual policy for a limited time to give you three months extra cover. That’s 15 months for the price of 12.

Once your destination is safe to travel to, you’ll be ready to go, knowing you’ve already sorted your cover. It’s one less thing to worry about.

But before you pack your suitcase, you’ll need to check government advice to make sure your destination is safe, otherwise your policy won’t be valid.

What’s covered with coronavirus travel insurance?

You’ll be covered for at least £5 million for emergency medical expenses and repatriation. You can choose a higher level of cover with our Comprehensive policy, which comes with unlimited medical expenses.

This means that if you develop COVID-19 while on holiday and need emergency medical help, you’ll be covered as long as you’ve declared your pre-existing conditions.

Where your medical bill comes to more than £350, we’ll also try and settle the agreed claim with the medical facility where we can, allowing you to focus on more important things like getting better.

If you can’t travel and need to change your holiday dates because your trip is cancelled, you should be able to change your dates of your Single Trip Travel Insurance.
