For overseas travel:
If you’ve decided to cancel your travel arrangements and they were not booked as part of a package, it may be difficult for us to get a refund for you. You should check the terms and conditions of the supplier and your Travel Insurance policy to see if you are eligible for a refund.
Check the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) for the latest travel updates.
If the FCO advises against all travel to your intended destination, it’s possible to claim for cancellations as long as the advice wasn't in place when you booked the trip or purchased your insurance.
For UK-based trips and events:
If the service is still operational but you decide to, or have already cancelled, any refunds will be subject to the refund policy within the service provider’s terms and conditions. You may not be entitled to a refund if you have voluntarily decided to cancel.
First contact the company you booked through and the insurance provider
In any of the above situations, we’d recommend that you start by getting in touch with whoever organised it, or whoever you booked through. They may offer you different dates or a full refund. This is likely to be the quickest way to get the resolution you want. You can also check with your insurance provider before you cancel.
