Sometimes unexpected events crop up before or during your trip that mean you may not be able to complete your holiday.
From family emergencies to flight cancellations, we always recommend taking out travel insurance before your trip as we’d hate for you to lose out should anything happen before you travel or whilst you’re away! With the right policy, you’ll be covered for any unexpected costs incurred.
We know that travel insurance might not seem necessary and that the admin process isn’t as exciting as your upcoming trip. Fortunately, by getting travel insurance you can be sure you’re doing the best you can to cover yourself against a number of situations before and during your trip. So, we recommend that you get insured as soon as you book if you aren’t already covered by annual insurance, or as part of a family insurance policy. Then you won’t have to think about it again, hopefully!
Be sure to read all of the terms, inclusions, exclusions and limits of your policy, as not all policies suit everyone’s particular travel needs. If you have any queries about the terms and conditions, just give the insurance company a call and they’ll be happy to assist!
Once you’ve purchased your policy, we recommend you either print your policy out to take with you, or write your policy number down together with the phone number to make a claim, and carry it with you. Remember that you should notify your insurance company of any potential claim within 24 hours and always provide supporting evidence where possible, like receipts, airport lost luggage forms, police reports, and doctor’s notes.
As per our terms and conditions, we’re not able to cover anything that occurs during your trip that is out of our control, so please make sure that you look out for yourself and take an interrail travel insurance policy out as soon as you can!
