Key Benefits of including Repatriation with your Holiday Insurance
Did you know, that last year thousands of Britons required Emergency Repatriation after experiencing a medical setback while travelling abroad? Repatriations are either by scheduled airline services or by specialist air ambulances and may include a medical escort if considered necessary.
Repatriation cover is an integral part of the Emergency Medical Expenses section of this travel insurance policy. Repatriations are arranged by whatever means are deemed to be medically appropriate for the individual case, as determined by the Assistance Service on the policy.
We have added below details relating to repatriation from our policy wording.
"If our medical advisers think it would be in your medical interests to bring you back to your home or to a hospital or nursing home in your home country, you will normally be transferred by regular airline or road ambulance. Where medically necessary in very serious or urgent cases, we will use an air ambulance. We will consult the treating doctor and our medical advisers first. If you need to go home early, the treating doctor must provide a certificate confirming that you are fit to travel. Without this the airline can refuse to carry any sick or injured person."
You can contact us at any time, day or night. You will be answered by one of our experienced assistance co-ordinators who you should give all relevant information to. Please make sure you have details of your policy before you phone.
We consider repatriation to be an integral part of our travel insurance policies.
* If your cover does not meet your requirements, please notify us within 14 days of receiving your policy schedule and if requested return all your documents for a refund of your premium. If during this 14 day period you have travelled, made a claim or intend to make a claim then we can recover all costs that you have used for those services. Please note that your cancellation rights are no longer valid after this initial 14 day period.
