How we compare plans
Our TIH Rating reflects coverage breadth, excess, price, and provider reputation. Plans are researched manually and updated regularly.
Some plans may be promoted by partners. These are clearly labelled “Promoted” and do not affect our editorial rating.
Always confirm policy details and eligibility with the insurer before purchasing.
The UK’s National Health Service (NHS) provides emergency treatment to overseas visitors, but this does not cover all medical situations. Travel insurance is still recommended.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need travel insurance for this destination?
While not legally required for most destinations, travel insurance is strongly recommended to cover medical emergencies, trip cancellation, and lost luggage.
What medical cover do I need?
We recommend choosing a policy with unlimited overseas medical cover where possible. For high-cost destinations like the USA and Japan, this is especially important.
Does travel insurance cover scooter riding?
Not all policies cover scooter or motorbike riding. Always check your policy wording and declare that you plan to ride. Some insurers require a valid motorcycle licence.
When should I buy travel insurance?
Buy travel insurance as soon as you book your trip. This gives you the maximum period of cancellation cover before you depart.
What is a PDS and why should I read it?
A Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) is the full policy document that details what is and is not covered. Always read the PDS before purchasing travel insurance.
