Presenting your EHIC/GHIC at a public medical facility will allow you to obtain treatment at a reduced cost and in many cases free of charge, provided you are a UK or BFPO resident (please note if you reside in the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands you are not eligible for an EHIC/GHIC). You must carry it with you when travelling abroad. Remember to check your EHIC/GHIC is still valid before you travel.

You can top up your main travel insurance policy by up to £50,000 per person (up to £15,000 per person if aged 75-79 and £10,000 if aged 80-85), provided each person is on the same booking. The overall limit per policy is £100,000.
If you require cover above these limits, please click here for details of an alternative policy – High-Value Travel Cancellation Insurance.
You must have at least £1,000 of cover per person on your main travel insurance policy. It doesn’t matter how high the cover is.
Yes, you must have an existing travel insurance policy in place before you can top up.
Learn how Top Up My Cover works to ‘top up’ your existing insurance.
There is a waiting period of 7 days from the time that you take out your policy. If anything occurs in this period, or you are aware of anything that could give rise to a claim prior to taking out your Top Up Cancellation policy, you will not be covered.
You will need to check what the total cancellation cover is. Most policies will provide cover per person. So, if you have £3,000 per person and there are two adults and two children covered you will have £12,000 total cover. If your total trip cost is £18,000 then you would need a Top Up of £1,500 per person.
Endurance Worldwide Insurance Limited are the underwriters for Top Up My Cover Cancellation. They are a wholly owned subsidiary of Sompo International Holdings Ltd. Endurance Worldwide Insurance Limited is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority.
This can be checked on the Financial Services Register by visiting www.fca.org.uk.
Top Up My Cover Cancellation only pays after a valid claim has been made on your main travel insurance policy so we will not ask you about any pre-existing medical conditions. However, you should always make sure that you have made a full declaration to the insurers of your main travel insurance policy to ensure that you are covered with them.
Any change will need to be referred to insurers. Please call us on 02392 419 882 to discuss.
In order to have a joint policy, you must be on the same main insurance policy. If you have seperate insurances you wish you top up, you must have seperate top up policies.
You will not be able to claim under your Top Up policy as it only pays out once your main policy has settled a claim up to the policy limit.
You should notify insurers of your intention to make a claim within 31 days following the settlement date of your claim under your main travel insurance policy.
You have no further need of the Top Up cover which was there in case you needed to make a claim for the full cost of your trip.
You can pay by debit or credit card. We accept Mastercard and Visa.
Once you have purchased your policy, you will receive an email with instructions on how to access your policy documents via a secure online customer portal.
Please note – if you have not received your email after a few hours, please check your spam email folder.
