War Risk and Hazard areas, Know Before you Go

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) draws up an extensive list of countries that have seen recent war activity or is currently at war. Subsequently they advise these areas should not be travelled to.

As this is advised by FCO our Travel Insurance policies will not cover if you visit these countries.
Please check that the country you are traveling to does not appear on either list, as they are excluded from our policies.

How to Buy Good Travel Insurance

While a lot of people think “I’m healthy, I don’t need travel insurance. I won’t get sick,” travel insurance is much than just medical protection. It covers you when your camera breaks, your flight is cancelled, a family member dies and you have to come home, or if something is stolen. It is much more than just “health insurance” and for the little money it costs a day, you’re foolish not to get it. I never planned on falling in the sea in Italy with my camera and if it wasn’t for my travel insurance, I would have been out a lot of money.

Travel insurance is one of the most complex and confusing aspects of trip planning. With the myriad of plans and companies, people can easily get confused about what they should get and why. Given its importance and the amount of time it’s been since I last discussed it, I want to start the year by discussing it.
