Travel Insurance Direct is a travel insurance specialist. We offer wider cover than the products built into most credit cards and support it through our own teams that are trained to help you when you need it most. Our travel insurance products often feature lower excesses and cover more activities.
In many cases, we are also cheaper: compare our premiums to the fat fee you pay for the premium credit cards that offer “free? insurance!
Once you do the sums, you’ll see that buying insurance from a specialist when you need it is often cheaper than taking on a credit card – and the risk of additional debt – for the sake of “free? insurance.
Beware the fine print
Many credit card companies reserve the right to change their terms and conditions whenever is suits them to do so. That means they can also change the terms of your travel insurance. You will be notified of the change, but who reads through the tens of pages that comprise banks’ terms and conditions?
The terms of Travel Insurance Direct’s don’t change once we issue your policy, and our Combined Financial Services Guide and Product Disclosure Statement (including Policy Wording) is always available online.
