Advice For Travellers
What happens if I am ill or injure myself whilst travelling?
Medical expenses – if you should require medical attention overseas you will be charged for any
treatment received and these charges can run into thousands of pounds. With the appropriate Golfguard
insurance policy you will be required to pay a small excess towards the total cost of your medical expenses but the balance will be met by your policy.
Our travel insurance policies offer cover for emergency assistance services and any additional travel or accommodation expenses incurred through illness.
Medical expenses - If you have an accident or you are injured during your Trip, you will be covered for medical expenses up to £10,000,000
We would advise that you obtain an EHIC form at the Post Office to ensure you receive reciprocal health service care within the EU. However you should be aware that very few EU countries will offer free treatment so you should ensure you have insurance to pay the balance.
To comply with the terms and conditions of the policy you must obtain authorisation from the insurance company before incurring any expenses over £500, except in case of emergency. In case of emergency, if you are physically unable from contacting the insurance company immediately, you or someone designated by you must contact the insurance company within 48 hours.
Always retain any receipts for medical treatment or prescriptions to support your claim.
Hospital benefit – If you should be admitted to hospital during your trip you will be compensated up to £15 per day up to a maximum of £600 for Premier policy holders.
Please refer to your travel insurance policy to see the full terms and conditions of the policy. For more information on travel insurance call us on 0800 581 801.
All claims are always subject to the terms and conditions of your policy.
