All our policies include cover for Covid-19 as standard, to help you decide if this cover is suitable for your needs please view our dedicated Covid Page which explains how your cover applies in a number of circumstances.
While we recommend you read our Covid Page to understand in more detail the cover we include as standard the information below provides you with an overview of the core cover.
Our policies DO NOT require you to be vaccinated against Covid. Please note however that our policies do not offer any cover if you fail to hold the relevant documentation as required by your airline (or other public transport such as a cruise ship or train) or destination country. For example if your destination country requires you to provide either proof of being fully vaccinated or a current negative test certificate and you are denied boarding/entry due to not providing valid documents there is no cover under our policies.
Our policies do not cover the costs of Covid testing or vaccination either prior to, during, or post your trip.
