To be covered, you need to have received all doses of the COVID vaccine that you’ve been offered. This could be one or two depending on your age.
You can also be covered if you can’t have the vaccine due to a medical exemption.
If you have refused any doses of the COVID vaccine, then you won’t be covered.
It's a requirement of our travel insurance to take a GHIC (Global Health Insurance Card) or EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) with you when travelling to Madeira. But remember a GHIC or EHIC is a compliment to travel insurance, not a substitute for it.
The GHIC or EHIC entitles you to free or reduced cost health care in the state health providers in Madeira.
But remember, neither a GHIC or EHIC will cover you for non-medical related mishaps on your trip, and won't cover you if you need to be flown home. Only travel insurance can provide you with that peace of mind.
If you use your GHIC or EHIC when abroad, we will waive your travel insurance excess if you need to make a medical claim (this could amount to £100 per person on a Basic Travel Insurance policy and £65 per person for Comprehensive Travel Insurance policies).
You can declare your medical conditions through our online medical screening process, which is a straightforward set of questions for us to understand how your medical condition affects you. Or, if you prefer, you can complete the medical screening over the phone.
It’s important that all pre-existing conditions are declared on your medical travel insurance.
This will avoid large medical bills if you need treatment in another country. Failure to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions may affect the validity of your policy should you need to claim.
If the Foreign Office (FCDO) advises against ‘all but essential travel’, you can still travel with cover to Madeira when you add our European FCDO Travel Advice Extension to your policy.
So, sit back and relax on your favourite beach, knowing that should something unexpected happen, we’ve got your back.

If the country you are in or travelling to changes from Green to Amber and you want to cancel or cut your trip short, any costs incurred or elements of the trip that are lost will not be covered by our policy. You should contact your airline, tour operator, accommodation provider, or other carriers to enquire about refunds, or about changing your travel plans.
