Paully Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Staysure have just confirmed that they will now cover customers old and new on their travel policies for medical and repatriation expenses if you are unfortunate enough to contract it whilst on holiday. It only applies once the FCO has lifted their travel ban and no cover will be provided for cancellations for this cause. I think there are restrictions on age related time spent abroad but best have a looky to see if it is of any use. But a welcome start by the insurance industry.. https://travelinsurance.staysure.co.uk/quote/policy-details Link to post Share on other sites

Manxscorpio Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Ours is still with LV on an annual basis (quite expensive) however our claim for cancelled flights and extra costs incurred in returning home via other routes resulted in a deduction of £100 being excess which to be honest I wasn't aware of.... hey ho..... will be looking at alternatives next time.....

Angel Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 AllClear is another insurer that has announced that they will be providing Covid-19 cover as part of their Travel Insurance policies. https://allclear-news.com/2E0A-1LXJO-259Q2BTU0D/cr.aspx Link to post Share on other sites
Paully Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) I understand that Co Op travel Insurance, as well as Saga Insurance are also covering Covid 19 for treatment abroad and repatriation only. They won`t cover any cancellation costs though. But like all the others it won`t come into effect until or even if, the FCO lift their travel ban.
