Am I covered to drive abroad?
Driving abroad
The cover for driving abroad will vary, depending on the policy you purchase. If you drive a car abroad, the policies we offer might only provide cover for emergency medical assistance, personal accident, and personal possessions*.
It is a travel insurance industry standard, that there will not be cover for Personal Liability when you are in charge of a motorised or mechanical vehicle**. So, if you accidentally injure someone or damage somebody's property as a result of being in charge or control of a vehicle, you will not be covered to claim. You will need to make sure that the vehicle owner/hire company provides you with adequate liability cover.
*Under the personal possessions sections of cover, your money and valuable items (jewellery, watches, furs, photographic, audio, video, camcorder or computer equipment etc.) will not be covered if left unattended in a motor vehicle.
**Motorised or mechanical vehicles can include, but are not limited to: cars, campervans, vans, minibuses, motorcycles, scooters, jet-skis, boats, snowmobiles, aircraft, etc.
If you’re not sure about the cover or need clarification, don’t hesitate to contact us.
