We understand about providing peace of mind and our new travel policies do just that. From trekking to touring, skiing to cruising and everything in between we know you want to enjoy every minute of your trip without worrying when something goes wrong.
With travel insurance from Islands you’re covered for all of the usual eventualities and more, but with the added advantage that with our bespoke policy you can design your cover around your specific lifestyle and needs.
So, whether it’s Southampton shopping or Amazonian adventure, you can enjoy the freedom to travel with complete peace of mind.
What’s covered
Because we know everyone is unique, we have created two package options to choose from – Single Trip & Prestige Annual (multi-trip). Depending on the complexity and flexibility of the cover you need, we are confident we can find the right solution for you.
Delays and cancellations are part of everyday travel and we have cover for that, but sometimes things happen that are completely unforeseen, from political protests to volcanic ash clouds, labour strikes to the insolvency of travel businesses. We all hope these things will not happen to us but at Islands we believe it is better to know you’re covered, come rain or shine (and hurricanes or blizzards for that matter!)
We also provide a number of unique benefits and additional options under our travel insurance

Hire a car with ease
Whether it’s to explore the sights or just to get from A to B and on to C, hiring a car gives you great flexibility when you arrive at your destination. But there’s always that nagging worry that if something happens to the vehicle you could face a hefty excess from the rental company. With travel insurance from Islands we include collision damage waiver, so if there is a mishap any penalties will be covered.
