Big Blue Cover travel insurance policy details
Big Blue Cover offers 2 main types of travel insurance:
Single trip travel insurance - if you’re looking to go abroad for 2 days to 12 months then this type of cover is what you're after. You can customise single trip travel insurance to suit your destination, and it covers multiple types of activities.
Annual travel insurance - this is the best option if you're planning on taking more than one holiday in a year. This policy also covers you for unlimited overseas journeys of up to 31 days at a time.
Big Blue Cover offers 3 levels of travel insurance:
- Economy
- Standard
- Premier
All feature the same key policy elements, although the payment limits differ:
- Emergency medical expenses and return travel
- Personal possessions and baggage
- Cancellation cover
- Travel delay or abandonment
- Missed departure
- Loss of passport
Emergency medical expenses means you’re covered if you suffer an injury or illness while on holiday. Big Blue Cover ensures your medical and hospital bills are paid to a total of £10,000. You're also covered for repatriation back to the UK if it's deemed medically necessary.
Personal possessions and baggage covers your luggage against loss, theft and damage. You’re covered for up to £1,000, £1,500 or £2,500 depending on which level of protection you've chosen.
Cancellation cover provides cover if you or someone you're travelling with can't go on your trip. It covers cancellations for illness, redundancy and home emergencies such as floods, fire or burglary.
Travel delay or abandonment means you have access to the airport’s VIP lounge if your scheduled flight is delayed for more than 2 hours. If a VIP lounge isn’t available, you'll be reimbursed up to the benefit level of your policy. If you're still delayed after 24 hours, you'll be able to claim holiday cancellation costs under abandonment cover.
Missed departures covers you if you miss your outbound flight from the UK. If your car breaks down or if you're delayed on public transport, you're covered for an additional flight to your destination.
Loss of passport cover means if your passport is lost or stolen, the cost of getting replacement emergency documents is covered. This could mean travelling to the nearest British embassy or consulate, but you're covered for the whole journey. Similar travel costs to collect replacement green cards and driving licences are also covered.
