Holiday Insurance For Your Complete Peace of Mind

You needn't worry about shopping around for travel insurance, because our policy has been exclusively designed for Balkan Holidays based on our many years' experience of sending travellers all over the world.
Most importantly we include a 24-hour medical emergency service, a must for any traveller overseas. In addition, we cover the cost of your holiday if you have to cancel before departure, loss of baggage, travel delay and even the cost of getting you on another ferry or plane if you miss yours because of an accident on the motorway!
Travel insurance is so important that as responsible tour operators we have to make sure that all our customers have a valid travel insurance policy to cover the full period of the holiday.
In fact we're so confident that our policy is one of the best available that we even offer a 14 day money-back guarantee.
If you have decided not to buy our insurance, we will need a photocopy of your policy showing all the names on the booking form for us to check and keep on file. This will enable us to assist you by liaising with your insurance company in the event of an emergency. We reserve the right to decline a policy, which in our opinion does not offer adequate protection comparable to ours.
Many people think that the form EHIC is a substitute for travel insurance. It is not, as it only pays some emergency medical costs and doesn't cover repatriation.
The following is a summary of cover only. You will receive the full policy wordings at the time of purchase, which define the cover, conditions and exclusions. You have a 14-day cooling-off period during which you can return it and get a refund if you have a justifiable reason for being dissatisfied with the cover provided. The insurance is arranged with UK Underwritting Ltd on behalf of AXA Insurance UK plc.
