As the UK works to ease travel restrictions for people who come to this country and are planning a holiday abroad for Easter or summer, they should be aware that other countries and airlines have different and ever-evolving Covid-19 policies. Travel insurance remains key in the event of a flight delay or cancellation, as many easyJet users found out this week.
It is always important to check with a travel insurance company that offers the right level of coverage for you and your family and almost all of them have some type of coverage for kovid related cases. However, it is important to know the common exceptions to the policy.
With that in mind, we’ve put together a guide on what you can’t cover and Covid review sites from some of the country’s most popular travel insurance providers, including MoneySupermarket, Confused.com, Post Office and Aviva. As stated. Devon Live.
Underlying circumstances in which you are not likely to be covered
It is always advisable to check with individual sellers, but our research has shown that most companies will not offer the following coverage:
- If your destination country changes restrictions and you can no longer access them
- If the UK government bans or changes its travel rules
- If the NHS asks you to self-isolate because you’ve been in contact with someone with coronavirus, even if you haven’t
- When you return to the UK, you will not be able to meet your quarantine requirements
- You will refuse to comply with the quarantine requirements upon your return to the UK
- If you decide not to travel for any reason, even if you do not feel safe
- If you travel anywhere against the advice of the Community and Development External Office (FCDO)
One way of additional protection for yourself, in addition to being available in a travel insurance policy, is to book accommodation and flights with free cancellation or rebooking points. Also, checking each insurer’s policies gives you peace of mind about who you are and what you are covered.
