Frequently asked questions

This will depend on what you want to be covered for. You may wish to consider how much your holiday has cost you and whether you have any pre-existing medical conditions that you could need to declare.

We offer a variety of products to help you pick the right one according to your holiday plans and needs.

Our Single Trip policy provides cover for ages up to 100 years old no matter where you are travelling. For Annual Multi-Trip cover, if your trip destination is within Europe or Worldwide Excluding Mexico, USA, Caribbean and Canada you must be aged 80 or under at the start of the policy period. For Worldwide including Mexico, USA, Caribbean and Canada policies, you must be aged 75 or under.

If you purchased your insurance through a comparison site such as Moneysupermarket.com or Compare the Market and have purchased a Single Trip policy and your trip destination is within Europe or Worldwide Excluding Mexico, USA and Canada you must be aged 85 or under. For Worldwide including Mexico, USA, Caribbean and Canada policies, you must be aged 75 or under.

For our Annual Multi-Trip cover, if your trip destination is within Europe or Worldwide Excluding Mexico, USA, Caribbean and Canada you must be aged 75 or under. For Worldwide including Mexico, USA, Caribbean and Canada policies, you must be aged 70 or under.

Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult over the age of 18 named on the insurance policy for the duration of the trip.

For Single Trip policies, the maximum trip durations are:

Age 65 and under - 365 days / Age 66 to 75 – 62 days / Age 76+ – 31 days

For Annual Multi-Trip policies, the maximum trip durations are:

No, only residents in the UK, who are registered with a GP can purchase travel insurance from ageas. You must purchase travel insurance before leaving the UK.  If you purchase a policy after your trip has commenced there will be no cover and the policy may be void.

We do not cover anyone, at any time, who is a resident of the Channel Islands and Isle of Man.

The benefits, limits and excesses within your policy are per person, per incident, limited to two excess amounts if more than one insured person is claiming, per trip. Therefore, if you have a Family or Group policy, the limits and excesses will be for each of you individually.

Where a claim is made for the same incident only one excess will apply per trip, per insured person (max 2). An incident is one single scenario where more than one claim is made under different sections.

You are covered for medical claims due to COVID-19 while you're away, as long as you're not travelling against the advice of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) or the equivalent government body in another country.

You will be covered if you have to cancel your trip because you, your travelling companion or close relative has fallen ill with COVID-19.

You'll need to provide evidence to substantiate your claim such as, but not limited to, a medical certificate or an official test result.

Yes, if you or a travelling companion are required to self-isolate, due to a positive test result/confirmation from a GP, you will be covered to cancel your trip.Subject to the cancellation not being within the first 48 hours of the policy purchase.
Please note: Your policy will not cover cancellation if you do not want to quarantine or self-isolate when you return to your home area.

Please contact us on 0345 165 5762 should your medical conditions change so that we can note this on your policy.

If you are only planning to travel once in a year, then a Single Trip policy could be more appropriate for you. However, if you are planning to go on holiday more than once in a year then an Annual Multi-Trip policy could be more cost effective and save you having to take out a new policy each time you travel.

You should ensure that each of the holidays you are planning will be covered by the policy you have selected.

Yes, our Single Trip and Annual Multi-Trip policies cover holidays in the UK. You are covered for any trip not exceeding the maximum trip length as confirmed in your policy schedule, where you have pre-booked at least two nights’ accommodation or pre-booked transport at least 50 miles from your home.

Travel delay is not covered for any trips within the UK (except for trips to the Channel Islands)

Provided you have not already left the UK, an ageas Travel Insurance policy will provide you with cover as soon as your purchase has been confirmed.

Yes, Single trip policies do cover you to travel to multiple destinations. Please add all the countries you are travelling to when taking out a quote. The region of travel is noted on the policy schedule. Please see policy wording for Geographical regions.

You can purchase a Single Trip policy up to 12 months in advance and an Annual Multi-Trip policy 30 days in advance. However, you may want to think about purchasing your policy as soon after you book as possible to cover you for cancellation

You should always check the FDCO travel advice’s entry requirements of your intended destination before travelling. If the FCDO travel advice changes due to a pandemic you would not be covered to cancel your trip. Instead, please speak with your travel agent or tour operator to seek rearrangement or refund. If the FCDO travel advice changes due to a reason other than a pandemic you may have cover to cancel your trip if your costs are not recoverable elsewhere.

The UK GHIC card (that replaced the UK EHIC card post Brexit) enables you to access medically necessary state provided healthcare in the European Union (EU) and Switzerland at a reduced cost. If you have an UK EHIC card this will continue to be valid until it expires.

Neither the UK GHIC or UK EHIC covers you for repatriation back to the UK, so it is recommended that you ensure you have sufficient insurance. Travel insurance also offers other benefits not covered by the UK GHIC.

You can use a UK passport to get medically necessary healthcare in Norway. (for example emergency treatment, or to treat a pre-existing condition). Some people can apply for a new UK EHIC that they can continue to use from 1 January 2021 in the EU, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland.

Visit Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office or the NHS to find out exactly what you are covered for and how to apply.
