What is Travel Insurance?
Travel insurance covers you if something happens while you’re on holiday or before you travel. This could include the costs of cancelling your holiday if you become ill and can’t go, of if your baggage is lost or damaged during your journey.
You’ll also be covered for medical expenses if you need emergency treatment abroad and, in extreme cases, the cost of returning you to the UK. These costs can be very high, so it’s important to make sure you have enough cover before you travel.
All our holiday insurance policies include:
- Unlimited emergency medical expenses and repatriation cover 1 with a 24/7 emergency helpline
- Up to £10K cancellation cover
- Cover for travel delays and abandonment
- Superior rated Covid Cover 2 as standard
- Up to £3K personal belongings and baggage cover
- Over 100 sports and activities covered
- Up to £60k legal expense cover
This is all included as standard, so you can get up to more on your holiday.
Our Silver, Gold and Black policies also allow you to declare any pre-existing medical conditions.

Travel insurance FAQs
Does travel insurance cover coronavirus?
If you are looking for Coronavirus travel insurance, we’ve got you covered.
If you buy an InsureandGo policy today, the FCDO DOES NOT advise against all or all non-essential travel to your destination, and you have had and are up to date with the Covid-19 vaccination(s) recommended by the UK NHS (or were medically unable to have the vaccinations as evidenced by your medical records) you will be covered if:
- You need to cancel your trip because you or a member of your family or travelling party are either,
a) medically diagnosed with Coronavirus within 14-days of your planned departure date, as certified by a medical practitioner or independent authority following completion and physical analysis of a UK Government approved test;
b) in quarantine on the date you are due to commence your trip, on the orders of a treating medical practitioner due to Coronavirus, suspected Coronavirus or exposure to someone who has been diagnosed with Coronavirus; - You need to curtail your trip and return to your home earlier than planned due to the hospitalisation or death of an immediate relative, as a result of them having contracted Coronavirus.
- You need medical treatment for Coronavirus while abroad or you have to extend your trip because you have contracted Coronavirus or are quarantined on the orders of the treating medical practitioner due to Coronavirus, suspected Coronavirus or exposure to someone who has been diagnosed with Coronavirus.
There is no cover for any other Coronavirus-related claims, including lockdowns, quarantines or other government restrictions. All other terms and conditions of the policy apply.
Please see our Coronavirus Travel Insurance page for more details. Note that if the FCDO advise against all or all but essential travel to your destination for any reason other than Coronavirus, there would be no cover under any of our policies if you travelled abroad for a holiday.

Can I travel without travel insurance?
Some countries require you to have travel insurance in place before they’ll let you enter. Always check the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office travel advice before you set off.
Even if the country you’re travelling to hasn’t made travel insurance mandatory, it’s still important to have cover in place. Unexpected events can happen anywhere, and you need to know you’ll be well protected against emergency medical costs, unavoidable cancellations, or losing your belongings.
