Insurance

We consider adequate travel insurance to be an essential aspect to booking a holiday. In addition, we recommend that you purchase travel insurance that properly covers your participation in whatever activities you may undertake at the time that you make your booking.

Our travel insurance has been designed to specifically meet your needs on your Travel à la Carte Limited holiday. The cover is underwritten by Travel & General Insurance Company plc, except for Section K (Legal expenses), which is underwritten by DAS Legal Expenses Insurance Company Limited. Both Insurers are authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority. The schedule of cover below sets out the cover provided by tagconnet insurance. If you are interested in purchasing this cover, we will forward your details to the dedicated sales team at Travel & General Insurance Company Limited (trading as tagconnect), who will contact you to arrange the insurance. If you decide not to purchase our insurance, you must provide us with details of your alternative insurance on the booking form.

PLEASE NOTE:  E111 FORMS ARE NO LONGER VALID.

As of 1 January 2006, the E111 has been entirely replaced by the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Just like the E111, the EHIC entitles all UK residents to reduced cost (sometimes free) health care, if necessary, whilst travelling in most European countries. The quickest way to get an EHIC is to apply online as customers will receive it within 7 days. Alternatively, customers can call the EHIC Application Line on 0845 606 20 30 or pick up an application pack from local Post Offices. It can take up to 21 days for the EHIC to arrive if applied for by post. Remember, it is an addition to travel insurance, not instead of it.

 Important declaration 

An insurance policy can only provide cover in respect of an accident, illness, injury, loss, damage or an event/occurrence which is sudden, unforeseen and beyond your reasonable control. Therefore any facts known to you, which could possibly result in you having to make a claim, must be disclosed, otherwise you may not be covered. 

You must tell us about all material facts. A material fact is one that is likely to affect our decision in accepting or continuing your insurance. For example, these could be your employment circumstances, medical history or those of a travelling companion, immediate relative, business associate or other person that may influence you to cancel or curtail your journey. 

In addition, you must be able to make the following declaration for yourself and anyone travelling with you.  

As far as I know neither I, nor my travelling companion(s), nor immediate family, nor business associate(s), nor anyone I am visiting, nor anyone else for whom I would expect to be covered:

1 - is waiting for an operation, hospital consultation or any other hospital treatment or investigations including the results of a routine test;

2 - has been seen by a specialist or been admitted to a hospital overnight in the last 12 months (other than for regular check ups);

3 - has any breathing or heart problem (including angina) or high blood pressure, which has needed treatment (including regular medication) in the last two years;

4 - has received treatment, including regular medication, in the last 12 months for:
a any disorder of the blood such as clotting, bleeding or anaemia;
b any form of stroke;
c any form of cancer, leukaemia or tumour;
d a transplant;
e any psychiatric illness, dementia or dialysis treatment;
f any other pre-existing and on-going medical condition that a registered general practitioner could reasonably anticipate may give rise to a complication needing medical intervention prior to or during a journey (if in doubt check with your general practitioner);

5 - has been diagnosed by a registered general practitioner as having a terminal condition;

6 - know of any reason why the journey is likely to be cancelled or cut short. 

If you cannot make this declaration when you take out the insurance, you must contact

Healthcheck on 0845 408 0585
