Covid travel insurance

[anneeb]

I read that Trailfinders are covering Covid-19 and I believe that it covers cancellation. I haven't looked at it as we aren't ready to book yet, we have cover with our bank as well and are hoping that by the time we book flights the insurance companies will be covering it again. Someone did say that it wasn't cheap, but I suppose if you're completely covered, then the price is secondary.

Yes they do have travel insurance that covers Covid. You don’t have to book your holiday with them to buy it. Didn’t look too badly priced to us, although we get insurance with our bank so it will be
an additional cost - we are thinking about getting it for the next year so we are covered but only going to buy it if we book a new holiday.

That’s brilliant thank you. I’ve just gotten a quote and it’s £67 for my family of 5 for a single trip to Europe. It’s obviously on top of my bank costs but I can live with that.

I just took out a Trailfinders policy on a Europe trip too for the cost £64 for all of us I don’t think is too bad considering the situation and offers us peace of mind

Someone on Facebook said it was expensive, but to be honest, I don't think that's a bad price with the current situation.

This is such useful information. I want to rent DVC points but obviously need an insurance policy with cancellation for Covid too. I'll go and read through the Trailfinders Ts & Cs now.

I haven’t gone that far yet so would you please post if you think there is something that would make a difference.

I need to call them really as there are a couple of small pre-existing conditions I'd needed added. I also don't think that it offers end supplier failure or scheduled airline failure.

I find this all so confusing...

I did see that DVC Rental Store are now offering cancel for any reason insurance - $3.00 per rented point. Maybe I'll look into that too.

My trailfinders quote was £208 for a single trip and £260 for annual for 2 adults and 2 children. We normally pay about £212 through our bank per year so it's not too bad. Definitely considering cancelling bank one to get this because of the Covid-19 cancellation cover. Thanks for the tip!

Is that for a US trip? It’s ironic that if we could stick to our original trip we’d be covered. That’s quite a big difference between Europe and US if it is. I wonder if it’s because their cases are higher or just due to the higher costs of healthcare.
