Enhanced Covid-19 Travel Insurance for Skiathos
If you’re hoping to travel this summer, you’re not the only one. 45%2 of people we surveyed have said they want an overseas holiday this year, with three in five British adults (61%2) backing the introduction of vaccine passports.
Chris Rolland, CEO of AllClear, says, “A vaccine has transformed fear to hope and will bring forward people’s travel plans.”
There has certainly been a surge in travel as countries have opened their borders. However, even if you have had a double dose of the vaccine, travel insurance is still essential.
One reason is to protect your holiday from cancellation costs. With AllClear, providing you choose a policy that includes cancellation, you’ll have generous cancellation cover up to £25k, helping you to plan your trip with confidence.
What should a Travel Insurance policy for Skiathos cover?
Need to choose a travel insurance policy but not sure where to start? When searching the market, look for comprehensive cover that includes:
Emergency medical expenses – Covering you for any unexpected medical expenses while you’re away as long as you have declared all pre-existing medical conditions during the screening process.
Repatriation to the UK – This is the only way to cover yourself for medical transport back to the UK as other schemes, such as GHIC, do not cover such circumstances.
Cancellation and curtailment – Cover you you need to cancel or cut short your trip.
Baggage and personal property – covering your personal property should they get lost, damaged or stolen while you’re away.
