We understand about providing peace of mind and our new travel policies do just that. From trekking to touring, skiing to cruising and everything in between we know you want to enjoy every minute of your trip without worrying when something goes wrong.
With travel insurance from Islands you’re covered for all of the usual eventualities and more, but with the added advantage that with our bespoke policy you can design your cover around your specific lifestyle and needs.
So, whether it’s Southampton shopping or Amazonian adventure, you can enjoy the freedom to travel with complete peace of mind.
What’s covered
Because we know everyone is unique, we have created two package options to choose from – Single Trip & Prestige Annual (multi-trip). Depending on the complexity and flexibility of the cover you need, we are confident we can find the right solution for you.
Delays and cancellations are part of everyday travel and we have cover for that, but sometimes things happen that are completely unforeseen, from political protests to volcanic ash clouds, labour strikes to the insolvency of travel businesses. We all hope these things will not happen to us but at Islands we believe it is better to know you’re covered, come rain or shine (and hurricanes or blizzards for that matter!)
We also provide a number of unique benefits and additional options under our travel insurance
Hire a car with ease
Whether it’s to explore the sights or just to get from A to B and on to C, hiring a car gives you great flexibility when you arrive at your destination. But there’s always that nagging worry that if something happens to the vehicle you could face a hefty excess from the rental company. With travel insurance from Islands we include collision damage waiver, so if there is a mishap any penalties will be covered.
Sit back and relax
Stranded at an airport for more than two hours? Don’t worry, we’ll send you a unique access code direct to your phone to allow you entry into the private lounge in more than 1200 airports around the world. All you have to do is register your flight and fellow travellers at least 24 hours before you start your journey.
Emergency evacuation
No-one wants to get caught up in a natural catastrophe but when they do happen you want to know you can get you and your loved ones to safety as quickly as possible. We’ll cover you for up to £10,000 (£50,000 per family) to cover your expenses. Our 360 Assistance Service gives you access to security and medical information in most countries 24/7, including contact numbers, evacuation procedures and SMS updates.
Safe and secure
In an age when data security is uppermost in people’s minds, our digital document wallet provides complete peace of mind that your travel and personal documents are stored securely and accessible only by you.
On top of your game
Sports and winter sports cover are automatically included in your cover, so whether it’s beach volleyball or snowboarding you can rest assured you’ll be covered if you have a mishap. You can also choose additional cover for hazardous sports and golf equipment – Lewis Hamilton watch out!
