Travel Insurance Terms and Conditions

Insurance is only available to residents of the United Kingdom or Republic of Ireland departing from their country of residence.

A resident is defined as a person who has had a permanent address in the country of departure for 6 months or more.

(Non residents of the UK or Ireland might find insurance through the World Nomads insurance company. Click here for details.)
