Yes, you can buy travel insurance after booking your holiday. However, your policy will not cover anything you already knew about before you bought the insurance.
When does cancellation cover begin?
For a Single Trip policy, cancellation cover begins when you pay the premium or from the start date shown in your policy documents.
This means your cancellation cover will not apply to anything that happened before your policy started.
For an Annual Multi-Trip policy, cancellation cover for a trip starts either when you book the trip or on the policy start date listed in your Policy Schedule, whichever comes later.
This means you can have an Annual Multi-Trip policy set up before you book your individual holidays.
Why is it important to arrange cover as soon as possible?
The policy does not cover claims for events or situations you already knew about when you bought the insurance or booked your trip.
By arranging your travel insurance soon after booking, you make sure your cancellation cover starts as early as possible under your policy.
Eligibility, terms, and exclusions apply. Please check your policy documents for all the details.
