Your travel insurance should cover you for strikes—as long as the strike action wasn’t common knowledge when you booked your trip or took out your policy (whichever came later).

 

If you have a Staysure policy, you can make a claim for emergency travel or accommodation costs if the strike causes disruption to your plans. If your trip is delayed by more than 12 hours due to the strike, you’re also covered to abandon your trip and submit a cancellation claim.

 

Need to arrive late to start your trip because of industrial action? Our policies can help with arranging overnight accommodation and alternative travel, so you can still make the most of your holiday.

Excess is the amount you agree to pay towards a claim before your insurer covers the rest. For instance, if you claim £500 for medical expenses and your excess is £99, your payout will be £401 after the excess is deducted.

 

Your excess is per person, per claim. For example, you might need to make a claim for lost luggage, as well as unexpected medical expenses. In this situation, you would need to pay an excess per person for each claim.

 

To remove this cost completely, you can choose an excess waiver. With this add-on, you won’t need to pay any excess if you make a claim. Our Signature policy already includes the waiver as standard, and it’s an option you can add when purchasing a Comprehensive policy.
