Cancellation cover before you go

- If you can’t complete your vaccine course due to other illnesses, or you have an allergic reaction to the vaccine that would stop you travelling
- If your travelling companion(s), people you live with, or people you’re staying with on holiday are diagnosed with COVID-19 within 14 days of travel**
- If you’re denied boarding with a positive test for COVID-19 or have a confirmed temperature above 38 degrees Celsius
- If there is a hospitalisation or death of a close relative or member of your household from COVID-19
Cover during your holiday
- Emergency medical expenses cover when abroad^
- Repatriation cover to help you get back home^

"Have used Staysure Travel Insurance for a few years. Have always found the staff friendly, helpful and courteous whether discussing a renewal or dealing with a claim. Would definitely recommend."
by Heather Myco*ck
"Easy to renew and reduce my cover as I’m travelling less this year. I have 3 long term chronic conditions well controlled by tablets and I consider myself well and active. I am happy with the price too."

"Having used Staysure Insurance before they were my first choice when booking another trip. Very happy with the cover provided and how easy the website is to navigate. Would highly recommend."
People also asked
What am I not covered for with COVID-19 holiday insurance?
- Not wanting to travel
- Buying a policy after receiving a positive COVID-19 test result or waiting for a result when your trip starts within 14 days
- The cost of any COVID-19 tests or results that might be needed to travel
- Your GP or medical practitioner advising you not to travel due to existing health conditions
Do I need to declare medical conditions on my travel insurance?
While you can’t yet declare COVID-19 as a pre-existing condition, it’s important to let us know about any other pre-existing medical conditions you may have. Don’t worry, you can still be covered for cancellation and medical expenses if you develop coronavirus at home or abroad.
You can declare your conditions through our online medical screening process, which is a straightforward set of questions for us to understand how your medical conditions affect you. Or, you can complete the medical screening over the phone. Find out what you need to declare on your travel insurance.
Covering your conditions will help you to avoid large medical bills if you need treatment abroad - including treatment for COVID-19. Failure to declare any pre-existing medical conditions may affect the validity of your policy if you need to claim.
Which destinations can I get covered for?
You should be covered to visit most destinations across the globe, as long as the country you’ve chosen is safe to visit.
To check if your destination is safe to visit, take a look at the FCDO’s advice.
If you travelled against the FCDO’s advice, your policy would become invalid and wouldn’t cover you if you needed to claim. Even if advice changes while you’re on holiday, you won’t be covered if your destination was listed as unsafe when you travelled.
Does travel insurance cover children for COVID-19?
The same level of cover applies for both adults and children with our travel insurance policies.
Each named person over five years old must have had all vaccinations offered to them to be covered for COVID-19 related claims. This includes any booster vaccinations.
Your child may also be covered if they can’t have the vaccine due to a medical exemption.
What happens if I or someone I'm travelling with gets COVID-19 before I travel?
If you or someone you are travelling with gets COVID-19 contact your travel provider to see if you can change the dates of your holiday.
If you can rearrange your holiday, you’ll need to update your travel insurance policy with the new travel dates^^. Log in to your My Staysure account to do this yourself online, or contact us.
If you have had a positive test result within 14 days of travel and you are not able to rearrange your trip, you may be able to make a claim on your travel insurance policy*.
