Azores Travel Insurance

The Azores is a very safe, year-round holiday destination, where numerous visitors enjoy hassle-free holidays. The islands are not completely immune to pests and dangers however, and incidences of pick-pocketing, for example, have grown in recent years.

While the main roads are in fairly good condition, there are many blind spots, switchbacks and general hard driving conditions on many of the mountain and coastal tracks, and you wouldn’t want to be without travel insurance if you were involved in an accident. Losing your wallet and passport or having an accident on holiday is bad enough, although a lot worse when you have no means of back-up. Although EU citizens can receive free emergency healthcare while in the Azores, having medical cover included on your travel insurance policy is recommended.

With the increase in European mini-breaks and cheap flights, holidays to Azores are becoming more popular. But weekend breaks and impulse trips still require proper planning and adequate insurance. A single trip policy will cover you for a mini-break but if you also take a main holiday in the summer, an Annual policy would be a more suitable option. This would allow you the freedom to travel as often as you like.

An Essential Travel Annual travel insurance policy gives you the option of spending 21, 31 or 45 days out of the country on any single trip. If you take a ski break you can add the option of 17 days Winter Sports cover each year. The policy also allows the flexibility of excluding baggage cover or adding cover for golf breaks. All our policies offer up to £5 million medical and optional cancellation protection cover. Whether you are travelling alone, as a couple or in a family unit you can choose the policy best suited to your requirements.
