Medical Travel Compared Discount Codes

Medical Travel Compared can't offer cover for one-way trips. They cover trips that begin and end in the UK.

Whilst the insurance providers on their site do not offer backpacker cover, many will offer cover for longer trips. If you are getting Single Trip cover, please make sure you add all of the countries you are visiting. If you are getting an Annual Multi-Trip cover there will be a limit to individual trip lengths, but the cover may be available for up to 90 days - just tell them how long you think you'll be going away for when you get a quote.

Cancellation cover will normally cover you if you have to cancel a holiday due to death, serious injury or illness to a variety of people. These normally include yourself, somebody who you’re relying on to travel, an immediate member of your family or somebody who you will be staying with abroad.

It does vary by provider, so please check the policy wording to check what is covered.

If cancellation cover is included on your policy, the cost of cancelling accommodation will be covered if:

• it is pre-booked

• you have paid, or

• you have to pay, even if you have to cancel

Cancellation maybe covered for a variety of reasons, check your policy wording to find out.

When comparing policies check that the cancellation cover limit is enough to cover the cost of your trip, including flights, accommodation and pre-paid excursions (though pre-paid excursions will be different by provider). The cover limit will be the amount per person.

Remember to check your policy wording for full details including any excess that may be payable.
