Buy Holiday Insurance

The cost of dealing with the unexpected when travelling overseas can soon add up if things go wrong on holiday, making travel insurance cover a must for anyone planning a trip abroad.

Why buy holiday insurance?

At its best, travelling can be a life-enhancing experience but even with the best planning, things outside our control can go wrong; illness or bereavement may mean cancellation or curtailment of your trip; industrial action or bad weather can cause flight delays; luggage, sports equipment or other valuables may be delayed, lost or even stolen. Of even greater concern, medical attention may be required whilst abroad or a serious illness may make repatriation necessary and the cost of such events can run to many thousands of pounds. Finally, although we may consider it to be unlikely, we could find ourselves responsible for someone else's injury, liability for which could run to millions. Suitable travel insurance cover should be in place to cover all of these potential, unexpected expenses.

Our travel insurance cover is arranged by Rock Insurance and we offer a full range of cover for a good range of ages and, most importantly, offer cover for many pre-existing medical conditions.

We aim to provide good quality travel insurance cover at competitive prices and the overriding principle of 24DrTravel.com insurance is that customers should understand what they are buying and what cover options are available to them. Our web site is now a one-stop shop, from finding out what to expect from your travel destination to allowing you to buy holiday insurance.

How much travel insurance cover do you need?

There is a common perception that in hard times, savings can be made by cutting back on "non-essentials" under which heading some people would include travel insurance cover. This could not be further from the truth. The lack of cover for something as essential as medical expenses could break the bank for those who are already stretched. Instead we would recommend a careful assessment and tailoring of your cover to suit your requirements and budget.

Some individuals are happy at levels of insurance that others would consider either inadequate or extravagant. If money is tight, carry as much risk as you can afford but get the rest covered. If you are making a late booking, for example, you may feel able to reduce the amount of cancellation cover required. Check the different levels of cover we offer on our website to decide with what level of risk you would feel comfortable, or call us on 0844 482 2303 for help.

We have the policy for you whatever your needs; single trip cover, annual cover, winter sports cover and we even cover a number of pre-existing medical conditions. Besides the peace of mind of good cover, we also offer our policy holders the additional benefit of a free 24 hour emergency assistance service.

Do you have a pre-existing medical condition?

We are delighted to offer all travellers the choice to travel with pre-existing medical conditions on their policies. These are over 200 medical conditions that are automatically covered on our policies. We believe the inclusion of them should be available to give travellers a greater choice as to the level of risk they are happy to carry themselves.

If you find that your pre-existing medical condition is not covered under the waved conditions list, then phone our friendly Customer Service Team free on 0800 091 2848.
