What does UK travel insurance cover?
Travel insurance for the UK can help protect you against unexpected problems before and during your trip. 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. The policy wording defines the United Kingdom as Area 1, including the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, so always check your insurance certificate and policy wording before you travel.
City breaks, football weekends and historic trips
The UK is ideal for short breaks from Ireland, whether you’re visiting Buckingham Palace and the West End in London, heading to Anfield or Old Trafford, taking a Beatles tour in Liverpool, going to a gig in Manchester or exploring historic cities like Bath, York or Edinburgh. If your trip includes paid accommodation, event tickets, flights, ferries or rail travel, travel insurance can help protect against certain insured events that affect your plans, subject to your policy terms and limits.
Hiking, activities and trips across Britain
There is more to Britain than city breaks. You might be hiking in the Scottish Highlands, visiting castles in Wales, taking a coastal break in Brighton or Cornwall, exploring the Lake District or heading on a family weekend to Belfast, Glasgow or Cardiff. If you plan to hike, cycle, take part in sports or book activities while you are away, check that your policy includes the cover you need and that any activity conditions are met.
Single trip or annual cover for the UK?
Single trip travel insurance may suit you if you are taking one visit to the UK, such as a weekend in London, a football trip to Liverpool or Manchester, or a family break in Scotland or Wales. If you travel to the UK several times 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.
