From the historic temples of Japan to Australia's Great Barrier Reef, there's so much to see and experience in the world. You can take the kids on the holiday of a lifetime to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, relax surrounded by luxury and romance on a Caribbean island or even go backpacking around East Asia. Seeing the world is a great thrill and, no matter where you visit; your eyes will be opened to new experiences and adventures. Sadly though, even on the holiday of a lifetime, problems can arise. But thankfully, our worldwide travel insurance will help cover you when things don't go to plan.

Worldwide travel insurance cover is slightly different to European travel insurance because it takes into account the higher cost of medical treatment outside of Europe. The cost of treatment is particularly high in America, where residents have private medical insurance. This means that, if you suffer an injury or fall ill and need medical treatment while on your holiday and you don't have international travel insurance, you could find yourself tens of thousands of pounds out of pocket. But, by choosing the right multi-country travel insurance, you can be protected against these medical costs, so an accident doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg.

On top of this, world travel insurance can also provide cover if you need to cancel or curtail your trip, if your flights are delayed, or if your luggage is lost or stolen. To get the best protection, you should take out international travel insurance as soon as you can – ideally as soon as you've booked your holiday. This ensures you will be protected with cancellation cover in the event your trip is cancelled.

If you’ve planned to take part in some activities on holiday, our optional add-ons can provide you with further cover. If you’re looking to play a round of golf at a top course like Pebble Beach in America, our Golf cover can protect you and your clubs. Or, if you want to ski down the slopes in Whistler, Canada, our Winter Sports and Ski add-on can help protect you against piste closure, lost ski equipment and unused ski-pack costs. Alternatively, if you’re taking a cruise around the Caribbean or the Far East, our optional Cruise cover can protect you against risks specific to cruising, such as cabin confinement, itinerary changes and cruise interruption. 
 
Please note that the additional cover offered under some of these options may be temporarily unavailbale from 5th May 2021, while we make improvements to our booking engine. We hope to make them available to you very soon. Policies purchased before 5th May 2021 aren't affected and your cover won't change.
Taking multiple holidays this year? Our Annual worldwide travel insurance covers you for an unlimited number of trips, so you can traverse the globe and take multiple trips with confidence.
If you're only taking one holiday this year, our Single Trip travel insurance could be a good fit. It can cover you for up to 180 days, and provides protection against things like medical and cancellation costs.
Heading away on a gap year or taking a career break? Whether you're backpacking around Australia or interrailing around Europe, our Backpacker travel insurance is appropriate for most travellers aged 50 or under.

Please keep an eye on the Allianz Assistance website in the future so you are aware when we are able to offer this additional cover again.
