As soon as you book your travel and pay your deposit, we strongly recommend you take out travel insurance.  This will protect you and your family from unforeseen circumstances.  Travel with peace of mind knowing that any loss of luggage, forced alterations to your travel plans, unexpected medical emergencies and more are covered.  

BUT … which travel insurance is right for you?  Various policies have exclusions and some policies might exclude aspects that are an integral part of your holiday, such as snow and ice sports, or skiing off piste

Credit Card Travel Insurance

Some credit cards provide complimentary travel insurance. This is available on many high-end or platinum rewards credit cards.  This complimentary insurance can provide a basic level of cover for you and your family while travelling overseas.  

These policies provide cover for various incidents, covering everything from lost baggage to medical emergencies.  It is definitely worth checking out if to see if your card offers any insurance cover.   Before you decide whether this type of insurance provides adequate cover for you, you’ll need to compare the insurance offered on credit cards to standalone travel insurance policies.  Watch out for exclusions such as pre existing medical exclusions or limitations if you are a senior. This comparison will enable you to confirm that the level of cover is comparable to the levels provided by stand alone insurance providers and is at a sufficient level.
