Why use Cover My Travels?

In addition to our exceptional customer care and market-leading claims service, we offer one of the widest ranges of travel insurance products available on the internet.

Here are some of the advantages:

Realisitic medical assessment

The strict criteria used by some insurers often results in high premiums for those with medical conditions and in some cases, refusal of cover completely!

At Cover My Travels we aim to assess pre-existing medical conditions to establish if the condition has been under control for the last 12 months. In most cases we can then offer travel insurance without any additional costs.
