City Break Travel Insurance

We all need a bit of down time, even if for a few days. If you’re lucky enough to be child free for a few days, manage to synchronise diaries with your best friends for an overdue catch up, or have some time out for enjoying some Christmas markets whilst getting a head start on your Christmas shopping, a city break could be perfect for you.

Why do I need insurance for just a short trip?

No matter how short your trip, you need to make sure you are covered before you travel. At A to Z Insurance, we’ll cover you for:

• Medical expenses should you become ill or injure yourself on your trip
• Lost or stolen luggage
• Cancellation or curtailment of your trip, including if you contract Covid when due to fly out
And much more… see policy wording for our full information on all we cover you for.

Where should I head off to?

Depending on how long you can travel for and what your interests are, there are some really popular destinations to choose from, including:

• Rome - to visit the Colosseum, Sistine Chapel or Trevi Fountain
• New York - for those shopaholics amongst you or to take in the view from the top of the Empire State Building
• Barcelona - to combine a beach and city break full of amazing architecture
• Paris - for the romantic in you or any art buffs out there
• Dubai – becoming an ever more popular destination for those who want a luxury sun, sand and city / shopping break and don’t mind the longer flight for a short trip

What policy is right for me?

Here are some tips to help you with finding the right cover through A to Z Insurance:

• If you’re travelling more than once in a year it’s wise to compare the prices of a single trip with an annual multi-trip policy, it may very well be cheaper to take out the annual policy then you’re covered for a year for all your trips.
• Make sure your cancellation cover is high enough to cover the cost of your holiday. If your flights and hotel come to £1,800, you need cancellation cover for at least £1,800, remember it’s per person, so if you’re travelling as a couple and spending £3,600 on your holiday, you can split that between you when it comes to cancellation cover.
• We have different levels of cover depending on your needs, higher cover levels give you more protection. It may well be worth you taking out the next level of cover, which could cost as little as a few pounds extra, to give you thousands of pounds more cover should something unforeseen happen. The higher the cover level, the lower the excess too!
• Think about any cover options or optional extras you may want to select depending on the reasons for your trip, we make it easy to select these options before purchasing the policy:
• Winter sports if you’re heading for a snow filled city break, giving you cover for piste closure, equipment or weather related trip disruption.
• Golf if combining your city break with some much loved golfing, covering your equipment and green fees.
• Cruise if embarking on a short cruise whilst away, covering you for missed port, cabin confinement and unused excursions as well as increasing cover for baggage.
• Enhanced Gadget cover taking you from up to £1,000 cover as standard for loss or damage of gadgets whilst away to up to £3,000 for an additional small fee.
• Wedding cover if you’re lucky enough to be planning a city break to get married to the love of your life! This provides cover for rings, gifts, wedding dress/suit, photos and videos.
• Always declare any medical conditions you have, you will be asked about these before we give you the quote for your policy.
