General
Buying Online
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.

Who are the Insurers?

From the 31st December 2024 this insurance will be underwritten by AWP P&C SA registered in France with ID no 519490080 RCS Paris Registered Office: 7 Rue Dora Maar, 93400 Saint-Ouen, France acting through its UK Branch, AWP P&C (UK Branch), registered in the United Kingdom. Registered Branch No. BR015275. Registered Office: 102 George Street, Croydon CR9 6HD

Can you use the information from my last policy?

Your medical information and the medical questions we ask you can change, so we aren’t able to transfer your medical information to a new policy. We will need to ask you for some information again to make sure your policy is correct and valid in case you need to make a claim.

How can I pay for my policy?

You can pay by debit or credit card. We accept Mastercard and Visa.

How will I receive my travel insurance policy documents?

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.

Can I get my money back if I want to cancel my policy?

We have now used Coach Plus several times, to cover our Coach Holidays. Have always found it very easy to speak to an advisor on the telephone, they just ask a few questions. After payment made, the paperwork and a booklet is sent in the post within a day or two.

{

Been taking out coach plus insurance for short trips, have found it easy to speak with someone on the phone..not and AI, an actual human. Have had to make one claim due to an illness and made a claim which was dealt with quickly and efficiently. Very pleased with the insurance offered.

Julie

Good to speak to someone friendly, clear speaking voice, A quite environment, other than a ticking clock, which was fine –
The 4 coach insurances were dealt with efficiently. Payment paid, and the Policies received 6th October.
A very satisfied customer.

Mrs Carol Iles
{

So glad to have been given the name of P J Hayman when booking my coach trips with Gold Star Tours. There’s a few weeks between paying in full and the departure date and you never know what life is going to throw at you. As soon as I have paid I give P J Hayman a call and from then on I relax, knowing my outlay is protected. The staff on the other end of the phone are always friendly, helpful and patient and the other big plus point is they are happy to send my documents in the post!

I have not actually had to contact the Company for a claim, fortunately. I have used the Company several times for coach travel insurance, always able to speak to an actual person which I find very good, they are pleasant, and explain the conditions.
