What does Canary Islands travel insurance cover?
Travel insurance for the Canary Islands can help protect you against a range of unexpected problems before and during your holiday. Depending on the policy and level of cover you choose, this can include cancellation, emergency medical expenses, baggage, travel delays, personal liability and 24/7 emergency medical assistance. Before you travel, always read your policy wording so you understand what is covered, what is excluded and what limits apply.
Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and island holidays
The Canary Islands are perfect for the kind of holiday many Irish travellers love: sunshine, pools, beaches, restaurants, cafés, family-friendly resorts and reasonably priced breaks. You might be staying in Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas, Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca, Maspalomas, Puerto Rico or another popular resort. Whether your plans involve a quiet week by the pool, a family holiday, a romantic break, local markets, coastal walks or evenings out, travel insurance can help protect the money you have spent on flights, accommodation and other booked parts of your trip.
Do I need medical cover for the Canary Islands?
The Canary Islands are part of Spain, and Irish travellers can use an EHIC for medically necessary state-provided healthcare. However, an EHIC is not a replacement for travel insurance. It does not cover everything, such as private medical treatment, repatriation to Ireland, cancellation, baggage, delays or lost and stolen property. Travel insurance can give you broader protection, especially if you are travelling with children, have booked a package holiday or apartment stay, or have paid for flights and accommodation in advance.
Single trip or annual cover for the Canary Islands?
Single trip travel insurance may suit you if you are taking one holiday to Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria or another Canary Island. If you travel more than once a year, annual multi-trip travel insurance may be more convenient and could offer better value, depending on your plans. InsureandGo offers options for single travellers, couples, families, older travellers and people with pre-existing medical conditions, so you can choose the cover level that suits your holiday.
