Comprehensive Travel Insurance

Comprehensive travel insurance is Fast Cover's most popular policy option, as it provides the highest level of cover for a wide range of unexpected situations.

It’s always exciting to plan out where you’re going to go, how you’re going to get there and what you’re going to do. But whether you’re touring famous landmarks and museums in Europe, going on a road trip across the USA, sampling the culinary delights of Asia, or cruising the icy waters of Alaska, you should consider adding 'find a suitable insurance policy' to the top of your to-do travel list. 

Everyone wants holidays to go smoothly, but who knows what emergencies may arise?

What if you slip over on the cobblestones in France and injure yourself, or a volcanic ash cloud results in your flights home from Bali being cancelled, or you have your bag snatched in Brazil?

Having travel insurance means that you may be able to be reimbursed for those unexpected expenses if something does go wrong on your holiday.

Why should you get Comprehensive travel insurance?

Our Comprehensive policy not only offers great cover for your cancellation costs if you can’t travel due to a medical reason, but you’ll also be covered for a wide range of different situations that can happen anywhere in the world.

The Comprehensive policy includes our highest level of cover for luggage and personal belongings, travel delays and special event transport expenses, plus a high level of income protection, cover for permanent disability and accidental death.

And if you miss your connecting flight due to natural disaster and you’re stuck in transit, or the airline misplaces your luggage and you need to buy a few essential items to tie you over, our Comprehensive policy may be able to help you out there too.
