Eligibility & Restrictions

Eligibility

The policy is available to those permanently resident in the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and Gibraltar) and present in the United Kingdom at the time of purchasing.

As long as your existing travel insurance policy will cover you, we will too. There is no need for a lengthy medical screening process. When you have successfully claimed under your main policy up to its cancellation and curtailment limit, you can then claim for the outstanding amount using your Top Up My Cover policy.

Age Limits

Top Up My Cover is available up to the age of 85 years.

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.

General
Claims
Buying Online
What happens if my claim is declined under my main travel insurance policy?

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.

When should I tell you that I am going to make a claim?

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.

My claim does not exceed the amount covered under my main policy – what now?

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.

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.

Please note – if you have not received your email after a few hours, please check your spam email folder.

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

If you are not completely satisfied with the cover provided you may return your policy to us within 14 days on receipt of your policy documents, provided that you have not already travelled and are not making a claim.
