Travel Insurance

Ensure you have an appropriate level of insurance, including adequate medical cover and emergency repatriation.

Medical treatment can be extremely costly and treatment may not be available in some places without proof of ability to pay. Also, if appropriate care isn’t available locally you may need to be evacuated or repatriated. Your insurance policy needs to cover this very high-cost service. You will be given an emergency telephone number with your policy number.
