The importance of travel insurance

As the world begins to recover from the pandemic and the opportunity to travel is presented once again, travel insurance is more important than ever. Luckily, we’ve partnered with Just Travel Cover to help you find the best travel insurance policy for you.

Just Travel Cover is an award-winning travel insurance broker. Since 1999, they have been working with some of the world’s leading insurers to help millions of passengers find the perfect insurance cover. Just Travel Cover know that every traveller is unique and every holiday is different. That’s why they “aim to provide high-quality travel insurance for people of all ages, including those living with pre-existing medical conditions who may find it difficult to find adequate cover for their own needs.”

From cancellations to covering the cost of emergency medical expenses, travel insurance will ensure that should any unexpected situations occur, you’ll be covered!

In the event of a medical emergency while abroad, medical costs can add up quickly. Just Travel Cover’s policies all include cover for emergency medical treatment. The amount of cover varies but all policies have a minimum of £5,000,000. When asking yourself, “is travel insurance worth it?” weigh the small cost of buying insurance against the potentially vast costs of medical attention overseas.

Should you need to cancel or change your trip, your travel insurance policy will have you covered.

"It's not always easy to get adequate travel insurance for a cruise to the USA as we are 77 and 82 years old. Albeit in good health and no serious problems. The consultant went through our past and checked what was relevant. She offered a deal for a 40-day cruise on Arcadia which worked out little more than £10 per day per person. I thought this was very reasonable and accepted immediately. We are now covered with great peace of mind." - Mr Powell, ROL Cruise Customer
