Superior Travel Insurance - Fully Comprehensive Cover, for the ultimate Holiday Protection
Essential Travel is the UK's leading independent travel insurer - providing peace of mind to thousands of holidaymakers and business travellers each year. In these uncertain economic times, we offer you all the holiday protection possible, at a price you can afford.
You also need the right kind of protection. Which is why, in addition to extensive medical, personal and material coverage, Essential Travel now includes protection against Scheduled Airline Failure. Not many insurers will compensate you if your airline goes bust - Essential Travel will, as standard on all Superior Policies.
What does Scheduled Airline Failure mean to you?
In short, if you had Scheduled Airline Failure insurance and had been booked to fly on Zoom, you would have got your money back. With our Superior Policy, you can book a ticket on a scheduled flight, safe in the knowledge that should anything happen to your airline, you are fully protected. Few travel insurers offer this important benefit.
