Contact Us

At Alpha we are passionate about providing the best customer service possible. Given the changing advice, travel restrictions and evolving COVID-19 situation, as you can imagine, our teams have been overwhelmed and need a little time to respond to everyone.

We are working hard to support you all; please bear with us and do watch our social media channels and website for further updates. We will post all our news and updates there and so this should give you all the answers you need.

To ensure we can prioritise help to customers who are currently abroad, please only contact us directly if:

You are in an emergency medical situation abroad please call 0333 003 7388 or email assistance@tifgroup.co.uk
You are travelling within the next 72 hours and have an urgent change needed to an existing policy

The team here at Alpha Travel Insurance don't just want to meet but exceed your customer service expectations. During peak periods, we appreciate it's frustrating for you to wait on hold in what seems to be a never-ending phone queue - But, did you know that most of the questions we get can actually be answered online?

If you have already purchased a policy and would like to view, download or resend your policy documents, you can create a FREE customer area account to access these whenever, wherever! Simply create an account using the email address and date of birth (for lead traveller) used when purchasing your policy.

If you’ve already completed a quote or received your renewal notification but would like to make some changes before you purchase, you can edit your quote details, add options and more online! Simply enter your quote reference and email address used when creating your quote.

If you need help with anything else, check out the following information that could help you find the answer you need:

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience that delays in responses to calls and emails might cause; please rest assured that we are working our way through your correspondence as quickly as we possibly can and thank you for your patience.

Please note that should you need to make a claim or require emergency medical assistance whilst abroad, you will always be able to get in touch with our Claims and Emergency Assistance Departments quickly. Both of these departments operate on separate telephone lines to our call centre and are therefore not impacted by the high volume. (However, please be aware that these lines can get busy during peak-holiday periods!)
