What is covered by

Before your trip

Yes. Cover is provided if you or your travel companion are denied boarding following either a COVID-19 diagnosis with an NHS or other government official test or receiving a temperature test reading or other medical test which falls outside of the transport provider’s terms of travel.

Yes, you will still be covered for all aspects of the policy (except cancellation and curtailment) provided you have purchased a single trip policy and are travelling within Europe and the FCDO advice is solely related to coronavirus.

On your trip

Yes. This would be covered under medical expenses section of the policy. If medically necessary we will also arrange for you to be brought back home.

Yes, provided that you have already checked in. If the accommodation closes after you have left home but before you check in and you are no longer able to enjoy the holiday you booked this is not covered because it will be the responsibility of your tour operator or travel company to assist you. You will need to approach them in this scenario.

Yes. These would be covered under medical expenses section of the policy, within the terms and conditions. It will offer cover for room only and travelling expenses for you and a close relative or friend who might be required to help you.

Yes. Your policy would also automatically extend to cover this.

Yes. You do not need to curtail your trip if the FCDO advice changes. You can continue your holiday knowing that your policy will still be valid and offer you cover. If you do decide to come home you will not be covered for curtailment or cancellation costs.

What is not covered by insurefor.com?

Before your trip

No. You are only covered if a positive diagnosis has been made and you have received a positive COVID-19 NHS test and provide us with a medical certificate from the hospital to show your hospitalisation. If there has been no diagnosis and you are just asked to self-isolate, then you would not be covered under this policy. 

No. We would not expect people who are required to shield to be actively booking trips due to the current pandemic and the advice for them not to travel, as this would be a known risk. However, should the current pandemic disappear, shielding cease and you book a future trip and subsequently receive a positive NHS test or hospitalisation due to a future pandemic outbreak, cover would be provided.

No. This is called disinclination to travel. This is because however valid you feel your reason is for not wanting to take the trip, it is still your choice as to whether to go. An insurer will not pay any claim for that reason.

No.  There would be no cover for cancellation in these circumstances.

On your trip

No. You would only be covered under the medical expenses section of cover if you are diagnosed with COVID-19 and this is the reason entry is prevented. For any other reason your tour operator or travel company should help you and you should contact them for assistance.

No. You should contact your tour operator or travel company for assistance.

After you travel

No. We don’t cover for any associated costs with having to quarantine on return.
