It depends on the circumstances under which you’d like to cancel:

• If you booked your trip after the 11 March 2020, or the date the FCO advised against ‘all but essential travel’ to your destination, then your claim will not be covered if it’s related to the coronavirus. In this instance you should first contact your travel provider – they may be able to change your booking or arrange a refund. If you paid for any part of your trip with your credit or debit card, you could also check with your card provider to see if you’re entitled to a refund.
• If you booked your trip before 11 March 2020, a claim for cancellation may be considered. If the FCO is still advising against all but essential travel to your destination. Where eligible, AIG will cover non-refundable costs incurred providing that you haven’t been able to change your booking or get compensation from your tour operator, accommodation provider, airline, travel agent, or other provider.
  If you paid for any part of your trip with your credit or debit card, you should also check with your provider to see if you are entitled to a refund.
• Finally, please note that your travel insurance won't cover you if you change your mind and decide not to travel.

If the FCO is advising against ‘all but essential’ travel to your destination, but you decide to travel anyway, your travel insurance won’t cover you.

The FCO has set out a list of countries that are exempt from its global advisory against ‘all but essential travel’. Because this list is subject to change, you should visit the FCO’s website for the most up to date and accurate information for the destination you’re travelling to.

If the FCO is advising against ‘all but essential’ travel to your destination, your travel insurance will cover any trip cancellation costs where you’re unable to get compensation from your travel provider, provided you booked your trip prior to the FCO advice or the WHO declaration on 11 March 2020.

Unfortunately, your travel insurance won’t cover you if you change your mind and decide you no longer want to travel.

If the FCO are allowing travel to your destination, but a UK quarantine requirement is in place, your insurance won’t cover cancellation of your trip if you’re not able to comply with quarantine measures. This is because it’ll be considered as ‘disinclination to travel’ which isn’t covered under your policy terms and conditions.

If the FCO is advising against ‘all but essential’ travel to your destination, your travel insurance will cover any trip cancellation costs where you’re unable to get compensation from your travel provider provided you booked your trip prior to the FCO advice or the WHO declaration on 11 March 2020. Please visit the FCO’s website for the most up to date and accurate information for the destination you’re travelling to.

If you believe you’re covered and you cancel your trip, you can make a claim on your travel insurance.

Where eligible, AIG will cover non-refundable costs incurred providing that you haven’t been able to change your booking or get compensation from your tour operator, accommodation provider, airline, travel agent, or other provider.
If you paid for any part of your trip with your credit or debit card, you should also check with your provider to see if you are entitled to a refund.

When submitting a claim, AIG will ask for:

• Your original booking, and which parts of it are non-refundable
• Cancellation invoices for all parts of your holiday i.e. flights, accommodation, car hire, etc.
• Correspondence and medical records from your doctor or medical practitioner.

It’s important to remember that each claim will be considered based on the individual facts and circumstances surrounding the events.

If you booked your trip or opened your Signature or Private Current Account on or before 11 March 2020:

Trips cancelled or cut short as a result of a serious illness, including coronavirus (Covid-19), are covered. This includes the serious illness of a person you have booked to travel with or a friend living abroad who you had planned to stay with.

Your policy also provides cover for emergency medical expenses for insured travellers who become seriously ill, including with coronavirus, while on a trip. Cover is also provided for the reasonable and necessary additional travel expenses incurred as a result of becoming ill.

To make a claim, get in touch with your travel provider (tour operator, accommodation provider, airline, or travel agent) first to get a refund, as travel insurance only covers non-refundable costs. If you paid for any part of your trip with your credit or debit card, you could also check with your provider to see if you are entitled to a refund.

Each claim will be considered based on its individual facts and circumstances surrounding the events. To assess a claim, AIG will require supporting documentation, including correspondence and medical records from your doctor or medical practitioner.

If you booked your trip or opened your Signature or Private Current Account after 11 March 2020:

Your claim will not be covered if it’s related to coronavirus (Covid-19). In this instance you should contact your travel provider – they may be able to change your booking or arrange a refund. If you paid for any part of your trip with your credit or debit card, you could be entitled to a refund from your card provider.

To assess a claim, AIG will require supporting documentation, including correspondence and medical records from your doctor or medical practitioner.

If you booked your trip or opened your Signature or Private Current Account after 11 March 2020:

Your policy does not cover any claim arising from a tour operator or airline being unable or unwilling to fulfil any part of their obligation to you. In this instance, please contact your travel provider – they may be able to change your booking or arrange a voucher or a refund.

Being subject to quarantine in the UK or at your trip destination is not listed as a covered reason for trip cancellation and therefore is not covered by your policy.

Your policy does not cover the expenses incurred with cutting your trip short as a result of the FCO either issuing advice against all but essential travel to your destination or advising British people to return to the UK.
