battleface provides travel benefits up to the policy limits, for destinations worldwide, including those under government “do not travel” advisories.

battleface policies include cover for medical expenses caused by or resulting from COVID-19 for travellers aged 59 or under. All valid claims will be paid up to the amount shown in your schedule of benefits and subject to the terms and conditions of the policy.

This benefit does not include cover in relation to COVID-19 expenses for trip cancellations, self-isolation, or lockdowns, so please check the local restrictions in your destination country before you travel. You can do this by visiting our Travel Restrictions page here.

Terms, conditions, limits and exclusions apply. Please refer to your policy documents for full details.

If you have any questions or queries about an existing policy or purchasing a new policy for upcoming travel, please contact us by emailing [email protected] or telephone: +44 (0) 330270999 and we would be happy to help you.
