UK Travel Insurance

Staying closer to home and enjoying a holiday in the UK is a popular choice for many travellers. From city breaks and long weekends away in log cabins, to coastal escapes and countryside retreats, there are plenty of ways to enjoy a break without travelling abroad. You can explore the historic streets of Edinburgh, enjoy the sights and attractions of London, discover the food and culture of Manchester and Liverpool, or relax in the elegant city of Bath. For a peaceful countryside escape, the Cotswolds and Lake District offer beautiful scenery, luxury hotels and country retreats.

Whether you are planning a city break, coastal getaway or countryside escape, suitable travel insurance can help protect your trip against unexpected costs and disruption. Flexicover offers cover for UK breaks, provided you have booked and paid for at least two nights’ accommodation.

UK travel insurance cover can help protect you against things such as cancelling your trip, additional travel and accommodation costs if you cannot return home as planned, and certain medical assistance and repatriation costs. Not all sections of cover apply when your trip is solely within the UK, so it is important to check your policy wording before you travel.

The UK offers plenty of opportunities to try new activities, from countryside walks and coastal adventures to visiting attractions and taking part in sports. Make sure any activities you plan to take are covered by your policy. As emergency medical treatment is generally available through the NHS, UK travel insurance is not intended to replace private health insurance, but can provide cover for certain medical assistance and repatriation costs if you become ill or injured during your trip.
