Large Scale Events Extension

Nothing is worse than having your holiday cancelled by events that are outside of your control. Often, most travel insurance providers offer cover for the usual reasons of needing to cancel your holiday, but when something uncommon happens like a volcanic eruption, or a terror attack, this isn’t covered as standard but you’ll still be left out of pocket. Luckily, we have a ‘Large Scale Events Extension’ that can offer the help that you need, and offer you additional protection for your trip.
