Travel again with confidence
When planning your well-earned holiday, you may also be looking for a travel insurance policy that gives you that little extra reassurance.
Our policies have been tailored to provide you with a choice of cover levels, as well as Covid Cover being included in all policies as standard.
You can choose from two levels of cover and select either Single Trip insurance for one off trips, or Annual Multi-Trip insurance which will protect all your travel arrangements made for the year ahead, with no restriction on the number of trips you have planned.
No matter which you choose, all our policies can give you complete peace of mind – with high levels of cover, designed to meet your needs for such things as, cancellation, emergency medical expenses and loss of personal possessions.
You can tailor your policy to suit your travel arrangements and add any extra cover you might need. We provide options for Cruise holidays and Golf Trips (included as standard within our Sports Cover Option). We also provide cover for Winter Sports activities such as, Skiing and Snowboarding (upon payment of an additional premium).
Our travel insurance policies have been designed to protect you from the moment you book your trip with us, all the way through to your arrival home!

Health Insurance Information for Travelling to Countries in the EU
As the UK has left the European Union (EU), European Health Insurance Cards (EHICs) are being phased out to be replaced by free Global Health Insurance Cards (GHICs). These will provide the same entitlement as the EHICs within the EU, giving UK citizens the right to access state-provided healthcare during a temporary stay in the EU.
If you already have an EHIC, you can continue to use it in the EU until the card expires at which point you can get a new GHIC card.
If you do not have an EHIC, you can apply for a new GHIC here:
