Checked a lot of companies and these again are the best. Kevin Byrnes – 5 Star Review - 24th June 2021
We understand that Covid-19 has had a severe impact on travel, that's why our goal is to make travel trouble free and simple again. We provide comprehensive and trustworthy travel insurance for all types of trips. We also now include several Covid-19 related benefits to all of our travel insurance policies to suit all your needs.
The first point to note is that the traffic light system is not in any way related to travel insurance. Travel insurance works in accordance with the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), so customers should always check their travel advice at the time of travel. The positive news is that the DFA has changed its travel advice for all EEA countries and Great Britain from 'Avoid Non-Essential' to 'High Degree of Caution'. Where a country is now stating 'High Degree of Caution', travel insurance will cover customers if they travel to this country/region.
EconomyCover.com travel insurance policies are valid for all countries that have the advice from the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) of 'High Degree of Caution' regardless of if they are Amber or Red. Amber or Red only refers to the requirements to restrict your movements when you return home. For some countries, the advice of 'Avoid Non-Essential Travel' remains in place and, as a result, no cover at all is provided by our policies if customers decide to travel against government advice.
EconomyCover.com travel insurance policies include cover for all countries that are listed as 'High Degree of Caution' on the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA)'s website. Other countries that the DFA still state 'Avoid Non-Essential' are not covered. To check the status of the country of travel, please visit the Travel Advice section on the DFA's website.
High Degree of Caution = Covered as per the policy terms and conditions, including Covid-19 medical cover abroad and cancellation cover if diagnosed within 14 days of travel.
Avoid Non-Essential / All travel = No cover to travel to this country.
EconomyCover.com travel insurance cover is in place for any insured customer who is diagnosed with Covid-19 abroad under the Emergency Medical & Other Expenses cover section, provided the insured customer is not in breach of the general exclusion about travelling against the advice of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).
