  • It is advisable to obtain travel insurance. If you do, you may want to check that your insurance fully covers all your personal requirements including medical expenses, pre-existing medical conditions and repatriation in the event of accident or illness.

Some insurers include cancellation charges, lost baggage and flight cancellations and delays. It may also be that your credit card company includes medical/travel insurance. Please check with your card issuer.

Unfortunately, most travel insurance providers do not cover Covid-19 related claims for policies purchased after February 2020.
