Having Travel Insurance is one of the most important aspects of your holiday – please ensure you are covered.
We know travel insurance is not very exciting, but we just want you to be prepared, and ensure that you can enjoy your holiday without any financial worries of unexpected costs should the worst happen.
Tour America has arranged a special Travel Insurance Policy with Blue Insurance Ltd, Ireland’s leading supplier of travel insurance, to suit our clients requirements. We can arrange this for you in a matter of minutes. Please click here for details of what you will be covered for.
If you do not have travel insurance, here are just a few of the costs you could encounter without travel insurance:
- Full cost of your holiday should something happen before your departure that means you can no longer travel
- No cover for lost/delayed bags
- Cost of hotels/accommodation if you have to stay longer due to cancelled/delayed flights
- Medical expenses for any medical treatment provided abroad – a simple medical procedure can cost 10s of thousands!
- The cost of repatriation if you have to come home unexpectedly

Helpful Hints
- You should always book your Travel Insurance at the time of booking your holiday – you are then covered should you need to cancel the trip (reason dependent)
- If you already have Travel Insurance with another provider, please check your policy as soon as you book your holiday to ensure that it still provides all the cover you require for your next trip
- If you currently have a family policy, always check that it still covers everyone in the policy (eg if a young adult is now living away from home they may not be covered)
- When you book Travel Insurance, check if you currently have private health Insurance as this can often reduce the cost of your Travel Insurance premium
- Always take your Travel Insurance documents on holiday with you, as it will contain all the information you need in the unlikely event of an emergency
- Always declare any pre-existing medical conditions at the time of booking your policy to ensure you have adequate cover to protect you and those you are travelling with
In order to activate your travel documents, we require proof of your Travel Insurance (company and policy number) at least 14 days before date of travel.
