At Caledonian Travel, we always do everything we can to ensure your holiday runs as smoothly as possible from start to finish. For this reason, we strongly recommend you take out a holiday insurance policy to ensure you’re prepared for the unexpected.
To provide you with a holiday insurance policy designed with our customers in mind, we’ve teamed up with specialist insurance providers Towergate Chapman Stevens. Some of the benefits of our insurance policy include:
- All ages are considered, plus there are no premium loadings if you’re over 65
- 24-hour English speaking emergency assistance
If you take out this insurance when booking your holiday, the price of the insurance premium will be added to your holiday cost. Your policy wording and status disclosure document will be sent to you with your booking confirmation.
