Do I need travel insurance?

France travel insurance | Gîte Loups d'Or

he last pandemic has taught us again that getting a travel insurance is one of the most important things to do before you’re travelling. Because of the pandemic, there are insurances offering cover for disruption related to COVID-19 like cancellation, if you or anyone covered by the policy gets a positive coronavirus test in the two weeks before you travel, medical costs, if you get coronavirus while you are away and additional transport and/or accommodation expenses if you fall ill with coronavirus while you are away.

Travel insurance policies provide cover for many eventualities, like medical expenses, ending a trip earlier than expected or even cancelled but also loss or theft of possessions. It could save you and your family a lot of money and difficulty if things go wrong before or during your trip.

When you are travelling, make sure you take details of your insurance policy with you, like your policy number and the emergency assistance telephone number provided by your insurer. Give a copy of your policy details to the people you’re travelling with and friends or family back home, in case they need to contact your insurance company on your behalf.
