frequently asked questions

what’s covered under travel insurance policies on albert & eddie for worldwide?

A good worldwide travel insurance policy should give you the confidence to enjoy your trip, knowing that you are in safe hands should the unexpected happen. Here at Albert & Eddie, all the providers on our site cover emergency medical expenses in the event of an illness or injury as standard, as well as cancellation cover and protection for your personal possessions if they are lost, stolen or damaged, plus so much more.

When travelling worldwide, you may also want to ensure that your gadgets are covered, as well as your travel documents in the event any of them get lost, damaged or stolen. Gadgets are covered as standard on some of the policies available on Albert & Eddie. But if you need this type of cover, just let us know how much cover you’ll need during the quote process and we’ll match you with a provider that can offer gadget protection for your travel needs.

does travel insurance cover medical assistance in worldwide policies?

yes. most travel insurance policies will cover emergency medical treatment and, where necessary, repatriation cover to bring you back to the UK if it is medically deemed necessary. however, it’s important that you let us know about any existing medical conditions you have, or are under review for, during the quote process to make sure full medical protection is in place for your adventure. the reason being, if you don’t let us know about any existing or new health conditions and you later need emergency medical treatment as a result of the condition, then you may not be covered for any related costs.

letting us know about a medical condition is really easy. just answer a few questions about your health during the quote process and we’ll do our very best to match you with a provider that will cover your conditions and meet your travel needs.

are sports and activities covered under worldwide policies?

most standard sports and activities will be covered by our panel of travel insurance providers as standard. however, if your trip-of-a-lifetime involves you trying out some new and exciting sports, such as bungee jumping or skydiving in Australia, sand duning in Dubai or shark diving off South Africa, then you’ll probably need an specialist extreme sports policy, or at the very least, a sports extension so that you are fully covered. but that’s pretty easy to arrange – just let us know what activities you plan on getting involved with during your trip during the quote process and we’ll make sure we match you with a provider that meets your needs.

do albert & eddie policies include COVID-19 protection?

Yes, certainly – in most cases! Most travel insurance policies available through Albert & Eddie offer some form of protection against the coronavirus. For example, they’ll cover cancellation costs if you have to isolate following a positive Covid-19 test, as well as emergency medical assistance costs if you are hospitalised due to a Covid-19 diagnosis. Most of the policies available through the Albert & Eddie panel also offer the option to enhance your cover with a Covid-19 policy extension, which offers much more specific protection against the mishaps that Covid-19 can cause.
