    Connecting flights in areas outside your policy.
As long as the connections are brief (i.e. A few hours) and you are not leaving the airport, you will be covered, as international airports are viewed as international soil. However if you are staying over night you will need the correct cover.
 
       
    Off-piste.
Only covered when under the supervision of a qualified guide/instructor.
 
       
    What is the maximum age limit on your policies?
We cover people up to and including the age of 64. However, we do introduce clients to a company called All Clear Travel Insurance who specialise in travel insurance for the over 65’s.
Please ask for a quote by calling them 0870 0607951.
 
       
    What do I do if I have a pre-existing medical condition?
All insurance companies require you to disclose any condition you may have had or have.

The key questions for you to consider:

1.Are you traveling against the advice of a medical practitioner or traveling for the purpose to obtain medical treatment?
2.Have you been diagnosed as having a terminal illness?
3.Are you aware of any reason why the trip could be cancelled/curtailed?
4. Do you have a medical condition that you have suffered from, received medication, advice or medical treatment in the last 12 months?

If you answered yes to any of these points, then you may not be covered for cancellation, curtailment or emergency medical treatment.
You must call All Clear Travel Insurance on 0870 0607951, for an alternative quote if you require insurance cover for your pre-existing medical condition.

What should I do if I’m taken ill overseas?
You need to contact FIRSTASSIST, our 24-hour medical emergency service. FirstAssist provide immediate help in the event of an Insured Person’s illness or injury arising outside the United Kingdom or Republic of Ireland.
You can contact them on +44 208 763 3011.

Remember if you’ve had to make any payments, to hold on to your receipts in order to make a claim.

 
       
    Why do I need insurance in Europe if I have the Emergency Health Insurance Certificate (EHIC)?
Form EHIC merely shows that its holder is entitled, in the EU, to free or reduced cost emergency medical cover.
Whilst such treatment is available in all EU countries, it is not always free and thus we would always advise the take up of travel insurance.

 
       
   

What if I lose my passport or have it stolen overseas?
Immediately report it to the local police and the nearest British Consulate, Embassy or High Commission. They will report the loss to the UK passport service and provide replacement travel documentation.

 
       
    What do I do if my flight has been delayed and my insurance policy has run out?
Your policy is still valid, as long as there are no other options for returning you home. You must remember to obtain a confirmatory receipt from the airline confirming the reasons for the delay.
 
       
    What are the differences between an Annual multi-trip and an Explorer policy?
An Annual multi-trip is designed for unlimited individual trips during the course of a policy year. The Explorer policy covers one individual trip for up to 18 months duration. The Explorer policy offers a lower level of cover which is designed for those traveling light i.e. Students.
 
       
    When does my cover start if I take out an Annual policy?
Your insurance cover will commence on the Start Date noted on your policy Schedule. It is advisable to start your Annual Multi-Trip policy on the same day that you pay for your policy as from that date onwards you are covered for cancellation for any trips you may have already booked.
 
       
    When does my cover start if I take out a Single trip policy?
Single trip policies are designed to protect between specific dates. You must be leaving and returning to the UK. However you do have cancellation cover from the day that you purchase the policy.
 
       
    How do you define a ‘couple’?
The purpose of cover for a couple is so that you can enjoy lower joint premiums. The requirement is that the couple are co-habiting for at least 6 months or more. You do not have to be married or of differing sexes.
 
       
    If my family has an Annual policy can we travel separately?
Yes you can travel independently from each other. However, children (under 18 years) can only travel unaccompanied as long as they have the permission of the main insured person and they are accompanied to and from the airport or other international departure point and met at their destination by a responsible adult over the age of 21.
 
       
    I have just purchased a policy and need to change the details. Can I do this?
If it is minor alterations we suggest that you email us at info@gosure.com with your policy reference number and the required amendments. We will then re-send the policy details via email.
If you need to extend the policy, or have purchased for the wrong location, then will need you to make contact on 0845 222 0020, as payment/refund maybe required and sending payment via email is not safe.

 
       
    Whilst I was booking my holiday my computer crashed, what do I do?
Don’t worry, just send us an email with your name, postcode, where and you were traveling and we will resend the information, along with the policy details for you. You can email us at info@gosure.com or call us on 0845 222 0020.
 
       
    Am I covered for my valuables?
Our policy carry limits of £200 (£300 for Excel cover) for valuables. We ask that you check that you have coverage under your home insurance before you leave.
We also ask that in all possible circumstances that you keep valuables, passports, cameras etc. locked up in a safety deposit box, when in the resort.

 
       
    What is my policy excess?
Certain areas of the policy are subject to an excess applying to each claim. An excess means that you’re responsible for the first sum per person per incident when you make a claim. For our standard policy this charge is mainly £65. This is detailed in our key facts .
 
       
    Are there any countries, which are excluded from your policy?
The Foreign Office issues advice for all travelers and it is wise to take this into consideration when traveling.
Our policies do not provide cover where the Foreign Office has advised against travel.
If your not sure whether a warning has been issued for your destination please contact the Foreign and Commonwealth Office on 020 7008 0233 or via their website http://www.fco.gov.uk
