Newcastle Travel Insurance

Newcastle upon Tyne suffers the same fate as numerous other tourist-attracting cities – a fairly high petty-crime rate in certain parts of the city. Violent acts aren’t common, but incidents of theft do occur including theft of cars and handbags. Making sure you take out adequate travel insurance is the best way to ensure that you aren’t left short. Insurance is particularly important if you intend to take part in any sports or activities that will put you at risk of injury, including driving.

If you are travelling from outside of the European Union, you need to arrange medical cover, as it might not be easy to get quality medical treatment if you are not covered, with the exception of emergency cases. EU residents will be covered for medical care thanks to government reciprocal health agreements.
