That’s Travel Reassurance!
John1 had never needed to claim on his travel insurance before. But when he needed urgent medical treatment while on holiday in the USA, he contacted our 24-hour medical emergency helpline straightaway.
We reassured him that we would handle the hospital fees direct. So, with no need to worry about paying the medical bills, John could focus on the most important thing — getting better.
Travelling with personalised insurance, like John, means you have peace of mind in case the unexpected strikes when you’re away.

As long as you’ve had the vaccines you’ve been offered for Covid-19, you should be covered. If you haven’t been offered both doses yet or you’re medically exempt then you can also be covered.
If you’ve refused any doses of the vaccine or haven’t been able to have a dose you’ve been offered, you won’t be covered.
Telling us about any strokes or TIAs you’ve ever had is important, as it allows us to personalise your travel insurance.
We understand that strokes and TIAs affect everyone differently, which is why we’ll ask you about their severity and whether you’re waiting for further investigations.
If you forget to mention your stroke or TIA, and later needed to make a claim, your policy may be invalid and you wouldn’t receive the cover you need.
Before you start looking at holidays, your doctor will need to give you the green light to travel. We can’t cover you if your doctor advises you’re not fit to travel.
While you’re waiting for surgery or investigations after your stroke, we may be able to offer you travel insurance, but this wouldn’t cover anything related to your stroke or any of your pre-existing health conditions.
There are many advantages to having all your family on one policy. It often works out cheaper and you’ll have the security of knowing that all of you are covered if you have to cancel due to a medical emergency.
By having a policy together, if one of you has to cancel the holiday because of a medical emergency, the whole family can claim back the cost of their holiday too (as long as it’s within your policy limits.)
We will take you through our medical screening questions, step by step, so we can build cover that’s just right for your needs. Don’t worry, we’ll work through the questions at a pace that suits you – we’ll never rush you.
Here are some of the questions we may ask:
If you’re planning a holiday to Europe, you’ll need to take a free GHIC (or an EHIC) as a condition of our travel insurance.
When the United Kingdom left the European Union, the GHIC replaced the EHIC as the means for accessing free or subsidised healthcare in selected European countries. Before you travel, make sure you check that your destination is covered by GHIC, just so you’re ready if you do need any emergency or necessary treatment for your stroke/TIA during your trip.
Remember, your GHIC is not the same as having good health conditions travel insurance. For example, it won’t cover you if you need to cancel your holiday.
Your GHIC helps reduce your medical costs where subsidised healthcare is available. If you can use your GHIC and have to pay a subsidised fee for your treatment, we’ll remove the excess fee on medical emergency claims for you.
