You’re also covered for loss of nut allergy medication. For example, you’re covered for up to £300 on AllClear Gold and Gold Plus policies. But more importantly all policies available from our providers will cover both your pre-existing medical conditions, and your medication. If you need assistance with either, you can contact our Emergency Assistance Team 24 hours a day – 7 a day week. They are there to help not only after a medical emergency, but pro-actively seek to prevent them. In addition, you can buy nut allergy Travel Insurance on both a single trip and annual multi-trip basis.
With a Single-trip policy, you can get cover for any destination lasting up to 365 days. This type of policy will cover you from the start of your policy till the date you return to the UK. However, if you have several holiday plans laid out for the entire year, then the annual multi-trip policy will likely be the more cost-effective option for you.
An Annual Multi-trip policy lets you travel multiple times within a year⇞. Each trip is typically covered for up to 45 days, and you may be able to extend this to 50 or 55 days depending on your policy level.
If you’re aged 71 or over and travelling to the USA, Canada, Mexico or the Caribbean, your trip length is limited to 35 days, and you won’t be able to extend this.
If you’re under 71 or travelling elsewhere, your policy may allow trips of up to 45 days, with the option to extend to 50 or 55 days, depending on the cover level you choose.

How to travel safe with a nut allergy
Keeping check of your food and medication
If the airline you are using offers food on your flight, don’t forget to check with the in-flight staff that what you are ordering does not contain nuts. A better idea would be to contact the airline before you leave and discuss your options. Also, make sure you have your medication on you at all times; including your hand luggage during your flight. It may also be worth visiting your GP before you leave to get a prescription for extra medicine – in case one dose is lost. When you are travelling to a country that has a different national language, you may not be able to understand – or read – exactly what is in your food. Therefore, we advise that you stick to eating foods that you know are highly unlikely to contain nuts.
If you have a severe allergy to nuts, you also might want to consider the following precautions:
- Inform your airline of your nut allergy so that they do not serve the food on board (particularly important if you’re allergic to the smell of nuts).
- When travelling, always know where your nearest hospital is.
- In case you become incapacitated, bring a letter from your doctor stating your allergy and your medical requirements.
- Clean your seat so that your skin doesn’t come into contact with any nut particles that may have fallen on it.
Symptoms to be aware of
If you have previously had an allergic reaction to nuts, you will probably already know the symptoms to look out for. However, to confirm, it is worth seeking medical consultation, if you have –
- Abdominal pain or cramps.
- Itchy skin or hives, which can appear as small spots or large welts.
- Nausea or vomiting.
As in the severe cases of anaphylaxis symptoms can include impaired breathing, swelling in the throat, a sudden drop in blood pressure, pale skin or blue lips, and fainting or dizziness.
What Our Customers Say
I was insured with All Clear Travel on my previous visit to USA – they were efficient, sympathetic and informative when I phoned. The printout was received very quickly, and easy to follow. I did have an allergy whilst on holiday and for the first time had to have medical treatment in the local hospital. I was treated well and was able to complete my holiday with no further problems. Thank you. Barbara – Trustpilot.

What is Travel Insurance for Nut Allergies?

With the right policy, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that if an allergic reaction happens, your emergency medical costs are covered, and help is just a phone call away through our 24/7 medical assistance line.
Our Travel Insurance for Nut Allergies also allows you to declare other pre-existing conditions or additional allergies, so your policy reflects your full medical picture. That means you can enjoy your holiday safely and confidently with support that travels with you.
Nut Allergy Travel Insurance FAQs
Do I need to declare my nut allergy when buying Travel Insurance?
Yes, you should always declare your nut allergy when applying for Travel Insurance, even if your symptoms are mild or well controlled. Declaring your condition ensures you’re fully covered if you experience a reaction or need medical care during your trip. Without declaring it, you could risk invalidating your policy and having claims refused.
Does Travel Insurance cover anaphylaxis or severe allergic reactions?
Yes. If you experience anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) while abroad, your Travel Insurance will cover emergency medical care, including hospital treatment, ambulance costs, and repatriation to the UK if needed. Our 24/7 medical assistance team can also help arrange urgent care and communicate with local doctors on your behalf.
Does a nut allergy affect the cost of my Travel Insurance?
Your Travel Insurance premium depends on several factors, including your age, destination, trip duration, and medical history. Declaring your nut allergy ensures your cover accurately reflects your needs. In most cases, the impact on cost is minimal, but it ensures that you’re protected for allergic reactions, medical emergencies, and lost medication, wherever you’re travelling.
What should I do if I have an allergic reaction abroad?
If you experience a reaction while travelling, use your EpiPen immediately (if prescribed) and seek emergency medical help straight away. Contact the AllClear 24-hour medical helpline as soon as possible. Our team can help arrange local medical care, communicate with healthcare professionals in their language, and manage any hospital admissions or medical costs on your behalf.
