Travelling within the UK?

Why do I need travel insurance for the UK?

Travel insurance for trips taken within the United Kingdom can prove beneficial if something doesn’t go quite to plan. Imagine you’ve booked transport, accommodation, and tickets for your big weekend away - and you get too poorly to go.

With Direct Travel Insurance, we can’t take away the disappointment, but we can help minimise the financial impact.

Our benefits include:

Cancellation cover for illness or accident.

Loss or theft of personal belongings & money.

Cover for trips at least 2 nights away.

It's important to know:

1. If you have a medical condition, please make sure you disclose it when buying your policy. Direct Travel Insurance will not provide cover for undeclared medical conditions.
2. You must be 18 years old or over to purchase a policy.
3. We are unable to provide cover for areas that the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO) have advised against all, or all but essential travel. Please visit the FCDO Foreign Travel Advice page to check the latest warnings. Alternatively, you can call them on 0207 008 5000.
4. This product is available for UK residents only.
5. The 15% online discount will not apply to any optional, additional cover.
6. Please check our Policy Wordings for full terms & conditions. If you have any questions, please visit our FAQ page or contact us.
