Even though there is light at the end of the tunnel, coronavirus is still lurking and it isn’t going away any time soon. We can only hope with vaccinations and restrictions that numbers will reduce significantly and we can resume a somewhat normal life.
We can’t wait for you to all be able to go on holiday again and we want to be there to support you when that happens. Our travel insurance offers protection for both yourself and your trip, but in reality, just a policy and a passport may not cut it in the future when you want to go abroad.
There are now requirements in place to get a PCR test before flying so that you can give proof of a negative test result before you board the plane. If you have no symptoms then you probably won’t able to get a test free of charge from the NHS. Instead you’ll have to look to private companies, who can charge a lot for a test.
We understand holidays are expensive enough and the last thing you need to be paying out hundreds of pounds per test, just so you can go away for a week or two. That’s why we’ve partnered with RightAngled, an at home covid-19 test provider.
