How travel insurance helps in a hurry

When John¹ fell while on holiday in America, he was worried about the high medical costs. He’d trusted Avanti with his travel insurance and called our emergency, 24/7 emergency medical team for support.

We put his mind at rest and assured him that we would take care of his bill directly, so there was no need for him to pay for anything at all.

If you have a medical emergency and the bill comes to more than £350, we’ll do our best to pay the hospital directly whenever we can.

How to buy travel insurance 

Sorting travel insurance might feel like a hassle – but with us, it doesn’t have to be. 

1. Get in touch

 Tell us about your trip so we can get things moving. 

We’ll ask: 

• where are you going? 

• when are you travelling? 

• do you need cover for a single trip or multiple trips? 

2. Simple medical screening

This part’s important. We’ll guide you through a short medical screening to understand your health needs. You’ll need to tell us about: 

• any conditions you’ve had symptoms, treatment or tests for in the last 2 years 

• any heart or circulatory conditions, past or present 

You can do this online, or over the phone if you’d rather speak to someone. 

3. Get your quote

Once we know a bit more about you and your trip, we’ll walk you through your quote. 

Choose from our three levels of cover and add any extras like cruise and winter sports cover if they suit your plans. 

If we can cover your medical conditions, they’ll be included in your quote – so you’ll know exactly where you stand before you go.

Still not sure? Give us a call to talk it through, we’ll be happy to answer any questions you have.

Should I tell you about my pre-existing medical conditions?

Yes, that’s very important because we want you to travel with confidence, knowing you’re covered just in case something goes wrong.

Talking about health conditions can feel difficult for some people, which is why we’ll always take the time to get to know you.

We’ll ask you a few questions to understand how your conditions affect you personally so we can be sure your policy is right for you.

If you forget to let us know about any of your health conditions, this may affect the validity of your policy, should you need to claim further down the line. It’s not worth the risk – travel with our support.

When should I buy my long stay travel insurance?

We recommend arranging travel insurance as soon as you book your trip.

Cover for cancelling your holiday starts as soon as you take out your single trip policy. That means your travel plans are protected from the word go.
