We’re excited to announce that as of 13th August 2020 all our single and multi-trip policies come with enhanced cover for Coronavirus.

If you are an existing Postcard customer and want to know how COVID-19 may impact your existing policy, please read our Coronavirus FAQs.

Is Coronavirus cover included for domestic trips?

If you are travelling on a domestic trip to enjoy a well-deserved staycation you will find comfort knowing Postcard offers specialist staycation cover on our “Staycation Plus” policies. Our staycation product includes enhanced cover for coronavirus that offers additional benefits that are tailored to domestic travel, including:

Cancellation cover if you or anyone named on your policy test positive for COVID-19, 14 days before you are due to travel.
Cover for denied boarding on domestic flights as a result of showing symptoms of COVID-19.
Cover to come home early from your trip as a result of getting coronavirus.
24/7 access to a UK based GP at any time during your trip.

Which Countries can you travel to?

The FCO has recently released their list of countries which us Brits are now allowed to travel to without exemption. They have also provided the list of countries which do not require any self-isolation upon return to England, as of 10^th July (rules may differ if you live in a different part of the UK).

This has been made possible thanks to ‘travel corridor’ exemption agreements with other countries (cheers, Boris). You can find the full list here. The situation is currently ever-changing, so make sure you check this list before booking and keep an eye on it before travel. Our policies will not cover you to travel anywhere deemed unsafe by the FCO.
