Coronavirus Travel Insurance
The COVID extension is available on the following products: DOGTAG, Insurancewith, Holidaysafe, and Flexicover.
The coronavirus pandemic was a huge part of many of our lives and, in many ways, still hasn’t completely disappeared. So, there is no surprise that many people still want some form of protection against COVID-19 when booking their well-deserved breaks as a safety measure.
Most of the policies available through Alpha offer a standard level of protection against COVID-19 – and some even have an optional COVID-19 extension that can enhance your protection against some of the risks posed.
We understand that in recent years additional cover such as quarantine expenses and other benefits provided under the COVID extension may no longer be required. We have therefore taken the decision to remove the COVID-19 extension from some of our products, while retaining it on others.
What COVID-19 cover is offered through Alpha?
Travelling abroad for your holiday should be an easy and stress-free experience (we hope). So, the last thing that you need to worry about is what would happen if COVID-19 affected your trip.
With a range of different policies that offer cover for COVID-19 available through Alpha, you can hopefully find a policy that matches your travel needs and ticks all of your boxes.
Most policies that offer standard coronavirus travel insurance through Alpha include:
- Cover for cancellation if you test positive for coronavirus within 14 days of the start of your trip, and therefore need to stay at home to self-isolate
- Cover for cancellation if you are told that you are too ill to travel due to COVID-19 by a medical professional
- Cover for cancellation due to death or hospitalisation of you, an immediate relative, a travelling companion or a person you are planning to stay with due to COVID-19
- Up to £10m medical expenses, depending on the policy selected, should you fall ill with COVID-19 while on holiday and need emergency medical assistance (as long as you did not travel against the FCDO’s advice.
- Cover if you need to cut short your trip due to testing positive for COVID-19, and self-isolation is required
- 24/7 access to an emergency medical assistance team
