UNCOVER THE WORLD - TRAVEL INSURANCE
Travel Insurance is compulsory on all of our tours, and Uncover the World makes travel insurance policies available to UK residents through our membership with the Travel Trust Association. We do not sell travel insurance ourselves.
We are not able to offer travel insurance policies to non-UK residents, who may check our partners at WorldwideInsure for suitable policies (EU residents / Worldwide residents).
Please contact us if you would like any more information or are unsure about how to arrange travel insurance if you are not a UK resident.
All of our tour prices include a Stand Alone Safe Seat Plan for your financial protection - this is not a travel insurance policy - please see our Financial Security page for details.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your insurance provides sufficient cover appropriate for the activities included in the tour. You must provide us with the details of your insurer, your policy number, and the policy emergency telephone number before departure (if you do not provide us with these details, then you will not be allowed to join the tour, and no refund will be due).
Cover Details:
The Travel Trust Association offer three different levels of cover - Silver, Gold and Platinum. Please check the policy wordings for more information.
Your insurance must cover you for the following (included in the Silver level):
- Medical Expenses & Repatriation
- Personal Accident & Liability
We also strongly recommend that you obtain cover for the following (included in Gold and/or Platinum levels):
- Cancellation & Curtailment
- Personal Effects, Baggage & Money
- Travel Delays, Abandonment & Missed Departure
Pre-existing medical conditions are not covered.
The travel insurance policies do not cover any pre-existing medical conditions. If you have such a condition, then you can still purchase a normal policy from us, and then contact our medical pre-screening company Bishopscourt on 08712 085 544, to obtain and extra quote to cover your pre-existing medical condition.
Activities:
Most travel insurance policies will fit most of our holidays. However, many will not cover the altitudes gained on some of our trekking tours. Please check the tour factsheet for details of the activities involved and the maximum altitude gained on your trek and ensure your policy will cover these.
We are happy to recommend our partners at
WorldwideInsure for policies to cover trekking over 2,000m (
UK residents /
EU residents /
Worldwide residents). Their normal policy covers trekking up to 4,000m, with extra supplements available if you will travel up to 5,000m or 6,000m.
