Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend that you take a fully comprehensive travel insurance policy for your protection and peace of mind.
Travel insurance (subject to the insurance company's policy conditions) include cover for cancellations due to unforeseen events, medical costs, luggage, money, rental car excesses etc.
We suggest you ensure the policy commences when you make your first payment towards your holiday to ensure you receive the benefit of the cancellation and curtailment section of the travel insurance.
Shore Travel Insurance with Allianz Partners
MEDICAL COVER RELATED TO COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS) - UPDATED 06 MARCH 2020
Allianz Partners has introduced leisure and business travel insurance for international travel with selected cover for epidemic and pandemic diseases.
While there will still be a general exclusion for epidemics and pandemics, there will be provision to claim for cancellation if you contract an epidemic or pandemic disease such as Covid-19 after purchasing your policy and can no longer travel. Cover for medical claims directly related to an epidemic or pandemic disease such as Covid-19 will only apply after you commence your journey.
It is important to note that there is no cover for lockdowns, changes in government alert levels, quarantine or mandatory isolation applying to a population or part of a population. The policy will not respond in the event that any government calls for border closures. As with any travel insurance, disinclination to travel due to fear or change of mind is not covered.
Even the most carefully planned travel experiences can go unexpectedly wrong. Regardless of how careful you are, it is important to prepare for the unforeseen and organise travel insurance as soon as you have confirmed your holiday booking. With Shore Travel Insurance, advice and assistance are just a phone call away.
