Before you travel
Travel insurance
We strongly encourage every traveller to insure a trip — both to limit what you stand to lose and so you can stop thinking about it and enjoy the week.
What a policy can cover
Cover varies by policy, but most will refund or assist with the following, before or during a trip:
- You need to cancel your participation on the tour
- You need to cancel or change a flight
- Lost baggage during the trip
- Stolen items during the trip
- Medical costs during the trip
Where to start
Talk to your own insurer first — you may already be partly covered. Otherwise these are three well-known places to compare:
- Travelex Travel Insurance
- Travel Guard
- InsureMyTrip, to compare several companies’ plans at once
We are not insurance brokers and we earn nothing from these suggestions. Read what a policy excludes, not just what it covers.
Talk to a host
Tell us your rating and travel window and we’ll suggest two or three trips that fit.
