Holiday Insurance

This holiday insurance policy includes cover if you receive a positive COVID-19 diagnosis within 14 days of your scheduled departure date and have to cancel your trip. Cover also includes non-UK medical treatment and additional accommodation, repatriation and travel expenses if you are diagnosed with COVID-19 during your trip.

We believe that taking out a holiday insurance policy, albeit not necessarily the policy which we offer, is a very important part of your travel plans. Have you considered that falling ill, suffering injury following an accident or even being unexpectedly called up for jury service is not dependent on where you are planning to travel? If you have to cancel your trip and we cannot transfer your booking, we may be forced to apply our published scale of cancellation charges. Also, if you are travelling inside the UK and you're unlucky enough to be admitted to hospital during your trip and can't make your return journey, the NHS does not cover additional accommodation, travel or repatriation costs. Unexpected costs such as these can add up, even if a close friend or relative can bring you home.

A holiday insurance policy is available for passengers travelling on our holidays. This travel insurance policy is arranged by Towergate Travel.
