If your travel company has cancelled your trip

If your travel company or airline has cancelled your booking due to the coronavirus outbreak, it is their responsibility to offer you either alternative options or a refund.

We can either:

  • Change the dates on your policy to reflect your amended holiday dates. We will not charge an admin fee, but please note there may be an increased cost to your policy, for example if you extend your trip duration, change the World area you are travelling to, or move your trip dates more than 12 months.

Amend Policy Dates

  • We can cancel and refund your policy. Please note, we can offer you a full refund on your policy if you wish to cancel within the 14-day cooling off period. If you cancel after 14 days, standard terms and conditions apply, click here to read our cancellation T&Cs
