Please use the options at the top to explore each section. Each question can be expanded in turn by clicking on it.
Can I extend my cover if I am currently on a trip?
Unfortunately, if you are on a trip and want to extend your cover we will be unable to do so. The policy will expire at the originally agreed date. The only exception to this is if you need to extend your policy following a change in travel plans as a result of the airline reduction and border closures.
In which case, you may extend the policy if:
- it hasn’t expired
- no claims have been made or are to be submitted,
- there has been no change in medical conditions, up to 7 days.
However, only a maximum of 7 days will be granted and no further extension will be given. If you have a valid insurance claim the usual criteria applies, with regards to your insurance extended as part of the assistance case or travel delay after checking in baggage.
Can I get travel insurance if I have an existing medical condition?
Coach Plus Insurance contains conditions relating to your health. You must refer to the Health Declaration & Health Exclusions section of your Insurance Policy.
Can my policy be changed to suit a ‘new/different’ holiday or trip?
On a Single trip policy, if you are offered an alternative destination and or dates from your travel agent, we will shift your insurance policy to fit the new trip without any administration charges, providing the new trip is for the same duration and to the same location or geographical area. Please call the customer service team on the number listed in your policy wording.
