Travel insurance, explained before you need it
Travel insurance is easy to buy and easy to buy badly. The cheap policy often excludes the thing that is most likely to happen on your particular trip: a missed connection, a pre-existing condition, adventure days, or a cancellation because a visa was refused.
What we read before you purchase
- Medical cover in the countries you will actually enter
- Cancellation reasons, including supplier failure
- Bags, delays, and the excess you would really pay
- Activities on the itinerary — a trek, a dive, a scooter
- Whether the people travelling are all named, including children
We explain it in plain language, then you decide. The point is a policy that matches the journey, not a certificate that looks reassuring and pays nothing.
