High-Risk Travel Insurance

What Is High Risk Travel Insurance?

It's a specialist travel insurance designed for individuals and groups travelling to high risk and hostile territorial regions across the world. It includes COVID-19, war and terrorism cover and for areas where the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) or local authority equivalent or the World Health Organisation (WHO) have "advised against travel" and which are excluded on most travel insurance policies.

It comes with an online platform to buy comprehensive insurance before starting your travels - all available within minutes from quote to cover. In partnership with the Lloyd’s of London market, a completely unique underwriting model has been developed that allows customers to purchase a policy with a minimum of fuss and a highly competitive price.

Crisis Response that includes Political and Natural Disaster Evacuation, and Kidnap and Ransom cover can also be added as an optional coverage.
