Small print

Why does travel insurance have small print?

The reason is that good travel policies are providing wide ranging types of coverage from medical emergency cover, third party liability, cancellation, baggage cover and personal accident cover amongst many other details to make you aware of – and that is a lot to write down.

Please always remember that there is no alternative to reading the small print to ensure cover meets all your needs. We have though tried to build in mechanisms to assist in evaluation of cover, and we hope you will find that useful.
