What is covered?
Emergency medical expenses, baggage & personal possessions and cancellations will all be covered. Your policy could cover the cost of any treatment, plus transportation back to the UK if it is needed, in the event of you becoming ill to the extent that you need to seek out medical assistance.
The accidental loss, damage or theft of your luggage may also be covered, as well as travel money and other personal possessions, while if your European or worldwide flight is cancelled or a family illness or bereavement results in you having to curtail your trip, the cost of that could also be covered.
When considering the amount of cancellation cover you need, you should look at those policies which will repay the cost of the holiday. Whatever policy you opt for, you will find that most of them will provide a 24-hour helpline which you can call in the event of an emergency abroad.
