From today Malta, Madeira, and the Balearic Islands as well as a number of other destinations have been added to the UK’s travel green list. Travel Insurance Expert at Confused.com Jac Morris says:
“Our research found that over half (53%) of people said they would consider going overseas if the government said it was safe to do so, but the prospect of self-isolating on return is just not a possibility for everyone.
“While, the new traffic light system simplifies the rules for quarantining when you arrive home, this doesn’t mean that travel to green and amber countries will be covered on insurance. Always check the advice from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office before travelling, as only countries considered safe for travel could be covered for claims on insurance policies.
“Plans are constantly changing, so it’s important to check your insurance providers’ guidance before making a holiday booking or starting a claim. We’ve created a guide which offers helpful advice and outlines policies from our travel insurance providers to clear up any confusion.”
