Important Please Read!
We offer Already Travelling Insurance on the strict understanding that:
nothing has already occurred which has led to, or could lead to a claim
you cannot claim for anything relating directly or indirectly to a
pre-existing medical condition (unless the condition falls within the
terms that we cover as standard).
you are not away from your home country for more than 18 months (or 6
months for customers aged 66yrs or over).
This policy automatically expires and cover ceases when you return to your
country of residence in the UK/EU.
COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS) COVER: Already Travelling policies cover Emergency
Medical and Repatriation Expenses AND Curtailment if you contract Coronavirus
during your trip. Coronavirus cover only applies if you are not travelling contrary
to the advice of your local Government, or for UK residents - the Foreign
Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
There is a 48 hour waiting period from the date of policy issue before the
insurance takes effect as a fraud prevention measure. New Claims requiring
inpatient treatment which can be independently verified, can be made within
the first 48 hours.
There is no 14 day cooling off period when you are already travelling, so
no refund is available in the event you cancel your policy, or return home early.
You have selected a start date after today.
You will not have trip Cancellation cover in place until the date your policy starts.
