Insurance Terms

When the following words and phrases appear in the policy document or booking confirmation, they have the meaning given below. These words appear in bold print.

Business colleague

Anyone you work closely with, and whose unexpected absence from work means that a senior manager or director for your business needs you to cancel or cut short your trip.

Couple

Two adults who have been permanently living together at the same address for more than six months.

Doctor

A legally qualified doctor who holds the necessary certification in the country they are currently practising in. The person must not be related to you or anyone you are travelling with.

Excess, excesses

The amount we will take off for each insured person, for each section, for each incident claimed for. For example, a couple who both have personal belongings stolen from their room and both have to pay medical costs during the same trip, will have a total of four excesses taken from the total amount they claim. Two of these excesses will be for two claims under ‘Section 1 – Emergency medical and associated expenses’ and two of these will be for the two claims under ‘Section 3 – Personal belongings’. If you have paid an extra premium for excess waiver cover, the excess will not apply.

Family

Two adults and all of their children (including foster children) aged 2 to 17. Infants aged under 2 are covered free, if travelling with an insured adult. All members of the family must live at the same address (see the note below).

Note: If you are divorced or separated and your children do not live permanently with you they can still be covered under this policy. "
