Can You Really Afford to Travel Without Insurance?

New figures from the Association of British Insurers show UK travel insurers paid out a staggering £472 million in claims last year — covering everything from lost luggage to cancelled trips.

Emergency medical treatment abroad , was the biggest cost which made up over £262 million of those claims. The average medical bill was £1,528, but some soared much higher — one insurer paid over £1 million to bring a traveller home from the USA.

With healthcare costs rising globally, travel insurance isn’t a nice-to-have – it’s essential.

Whether you’re jetting off for some winter sun or planning a weekend escape, make sure travel insurance is at the top of your checklist. With a panel of trusted insurers, we offer a range of cover options to suit your trip and your budget.

From lost luggage to unexpected cancellations, we’ve got you covered—so you can focus on making memories, not managing mishaps.
