Cancellatiion
Posted on 16 June 2026
Cancellation cover is one element that most people don’t think about, which is why the lead times for Travel Insurance are so short - people are usually buying and travelling within a couple of days.
Travel Insurance covers people if they are no longer able to travel on their planned trip due to
unforeseen circumstances. Please note that, Travel Insurance cancellation doesn’t cover a change of
mind or incidents related to self-inflicted injuries or drug usage.
Cancellation cover will generally cover the costs of pre-booked flights and transport, accommodation
and pre-arranged excursions should something unexpected happen, such as falling ill or an accident
which means you are unable to travel, as well as bereavement of a close relative.
All policies have different cancellation limits so advise your clients to always check their policy
wordings carefully to ensure they have enough to cover the full cost of their trip. Aneevo policies offer
cancellation cover up to £12,500 pp but we do offer additional top up cancellation through our new
product ‘Boost: Cancellation’. This allows up to and additional £25kpp cancellation cover (policy limit
£50k).
Cover starts straight away on Single Trip policies with Annual Multi-Trip policies on the selected date.
Martin Lewis Says
Martin Lewis: "Travel Insurance is not just to cover you while you're away. It's also very important to cover you in case something happens before you go that stops you going. "I have a rule: you should get your travel insurance ASAB - as soon as you book."
"Now, the reason I do this is every year someone asks me a question such as, “I've been diagnosed with cancer - we can't go on the holiday. They're saying we can't have our money back. What do I do?”
"Because the answer is: “you can claim for this on your Travel Insurance”. And they say, “Well, I haven't got my Travel Insurance yet”. Do not get your Travel Insurance the day before you go. Get your Travel Insurance ASAB!"
