This insurance should include cover in respect of, but not limited to, the following eventualities: cancellations or curtailments of bookings, weather disruptions, emergency medical evacuation expenses, medical expenses, repatriation expenses, damage/theft/loss of personal baggage, money and goods. Travellers will be charged directly by the relevant service providers for any emergency services they may require, and may find themselves unable to access such services should they not be carrying the relevant insurance cover.
