Many believe that Travel Insurance will only protect them on trips abroad and buying Staycation Travel Insurance for a UK break is pointless. After all, medical treatment is free on the NHS.
But Staycation Travel Insurance is so much more than just cover for emergency medical care.
UK Staycation Travel Insurance is there to protect you should the unexpected happen. Just like holidays abroad you and/or family members can become ill, leading to cancellation of your holiday and luggage can be lost or stolen.
Did you know that if you have an Annual European or Worldwide Travel Insurance policy you are covered for UK breaks? Check your policy wording for more details.

Key Benefits of Staycation Travel Insurance
Below we explore four of the main benefits of having an adequate UK Staycation Travel Insurance policy for your next trip:
Cancellation
If a family member or member of your holiday party fell ill or was injured resulting in you having to cancel your UK holiday, you could lose the deposit or full amount of your holiday. If you have an adequate Staycation Travel Insurance policy you could make a claim for all costs incurred including any rail or plane tickets purchased in advance.
Personal Possessions
You may have a tendency to ‘overpack’ when you’re not limited to 20kg luggage allowance. A UK break can see many take more expensive items depending on the type of holiday. Some home contents insurance will cover your personal belongings whilst away from home, but not all policies provide enough scope to cover expensive items such as cameras, laptops, tablets, xboxs and playstations.*
Curtailment
Cover if you need to cut short your holiday due to medical conditions for pre-booked accommodation
Covid-19
All Just Travel Cover’s policies provide cover for Covid-19 including emergency medical expenses and repatriation home and cancellation if you test positive for Covid-19. Find out more here.

UK Staycation Travel Insurance FAQs
Frequently asked questions about Staycation Travel Insurance and UK Holidays
Do I really need Travel Insurance in the UK?
Staycation Travel Insurance is not compulsory unless your travel agent/tour operator has specified you need insurance. For example, some cruise companies do require proof of insurance before you board. Otherwise, it is optional but it is recommended as it does cover you for cancellation of your trip and any lost or stolen personal belongings.
Is it worth getting Staycation Travel Insurance for UK Holidays?
We highly recommend obtaining Staycation Travel Insurance for a UK trip as it will not only cover you for the cost of your trip if you fall ill and can no longer travel or if your personal belongings are lost, stolen or damaged during your trip.
Does UK Travel Insurance cover bad weather?
Some UK Staycation Travel Insurance policies will cover you for bad weather. However, we highly recommend checking the policy wording for further details as this can differ per scheme.
What is a Seacation?
A seacation is a cruise around UK waters. It’s a chance to explore the breathtaking British Isles from the luxury of a cruise ship with the same level of first-class service as you would expect on any cruise voyage.
What are the common exclusions of UK Staycation Travel Insurance?
UK Staycation Travel Insurance will not cover you for emergency medical expenses as you will be expected to be treated under the NHS. Accommodation and journeys will also only be covered when booked in advance and your UK break must be over a certain distance from your home address and for at least 2 nights of pre-booked accommodation. This may/can differ per insurer, so make sure you check the policy wording for more details.
Who is the best company to get Staycation Travel Insurance?
A Travel Insurance policy needs to be tailored to your own individual needs and requirements. No one size fits all, especially if you have a pre-existing medical condition. At Just Travel Cover, we compare multiple insurers and offer cover for hundreds of pre-existing medical conditions with no age limit. Not only that but we also offer three levels of cover, bronze, silver and gold, to help find the best policy for you. You can view our Travel Insurance Checklist here to help you find the right policy for your needs.
Does UK Breaks include Ireland?
Any leisure travel to Northern Ireland is covered by your UK Travel Insurance. However, Southern Ireland is classed as part of Europe so you would require a Travel Insurance that covered either Southern Ireland (single) or an annual European Policy.
*Always check your policy wording, as terms, cover and limits can vary between insurers.
