Travel Insurance is Essential

Travel Insurance is essential for all travellers.  TravelHealth.co.uk does not provide its own policies. However, we are happy to link through to a number of Travel Insurance providers who offer solutions for a variety of situations, including those who travel with existing medical conditions, backpackers and trip to specific destinations, and senior travellers.

Before purchasing a policy, make sure that the policy is suitable for your ehicrequirements. Read our advice section on purchasing a policy for more detailed advice.
