Make sure you declare any pre-existing medical conditions - We can consider cover for medical conditions on all our travel insurance policies.
Arrange your travel insurance as soon as possible - Buying it early could help protect you against financial risks such as cancellation.
Don’t choose a policy based on price alone - Make sure you consider the features to ensure they meet your needs. We offer three levels of cover.
Don’t forget to select winter sports as an option - If you’re going skiing or snowboarding, make sure you have additional cover for winter sports activities. Cover can include piste closure.
Check out other reciprocal agreements with countries outside the EU - If you're travelling further afield, there are similar reciprocal agreements in place with countries and territories outside of the European Economic Area. Visit the NHS website for more information. Read more about the destinations we cover in the policy wording.
