Middle East Travel Update

We can offer travel insurance for Jordan, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. However, we cannot offer cover for travel to Israel, Iran, Lebanon, Kuwait and Bahrain due to the Middle East conflict.

Irene,
Applying and obtaining insurance

Applying and obtaining insurance was straightforward and easy. My review does not include any claim which, hopefully, I will not need to make.

Ronald Graham,
Easy website (I hate doing things…

Easy website (I hate doing things online)s, only suggestion I have is there is no where for comments e.g. my DVT was 24 years ago and it only happened as they plastered my leg by mistake as it wasn't actually broken. There should it be relevant, I have ticked DVT just to be sure, but maybe it wasn't needed. Otherwise great quote and was recommended to me by my friend who uses your company every year. Thankyou

Christine Greenwood,

Cover for pre-existing medical conditions

Covering your medical conditions is worth doing right, or you may find your insurance won’t pay a large medical bill. Tell us about your conditions and if something does go wrong while you’re on holiday, we’re here to help.

 

Even if you have a GHIC or EHIC, these only cover limited state healthcare and won’t pay for private treatment or getting you home – that’s where we step in. 

 

Telling us about your conditions is simple. You can do this through our online medical screening or over the phone. 

 

  • Policies that suit your needs 
  • Single trip and annual multi-trip cover 
  • Simple online process on all policies 
  • Flexible cover options tailored to you
