COVID-19
It’s important to check with the FCDO that it’s safe to travel to Tunisia, not just before you go on holiday but while you’re away too.
If the FCDO advise against all but essential travel to Tunisia, but you feel safe to go ahead with your trip, you can validate your travel insurance policy with our European FCDO Travel Advice Extension. Adding this to your policy means you’ll be covered as standard, except for the reason for the FCDO’s advice, and for any COVID-19 related claims while you’re away.
If the FCDO have advised against all but essential travel to Tunisia because of COVID-19, you wouldn’t be covered to cancel your trip because of the advice against travel. But we may be able to change your policy dates to suit your new travel plans. For more information, take a look at our information on cancellations.
Terrorism
In recent years, Tunisia has been listed as unsafe to travel to due to terrorism, so make sure you check FCDO travel advice beforehand. You won’t be covered for cancellation if it was public knowledge that your destination was unsafe to travel to when buying your policy or holiday.
Sometimes, the reason for not being able to follow through on your travel plans can unfortunately be due to terrorism. It’s a scary and unwanted thought, but one that we can help with.
There are times when the government acknowledges and declares an act of terrorism, but has not yet issued advice on travel. When you’re due to travel this can be a tense time, especially if you believe you could be in danger.
With our optional Terrorism Cancellation Cover, available on Comprehensive policies, you’ll be covered if:
- The event is officially declared‡ as an act of terrorism.
- The event occurred within 42 days of your date of travel.
- You’re planning on staying within a 40 miles radius of the event’s location.
Please note, you’ll only be covered if you added the optional Terrorism Cancellation Cover to your policy before the terrorism event took place.
