sawguitar Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Can anyone tell me of any travel insurance company that will include cover for the volcanic ash problem. Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donuticus Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I would think that most insurance companies would consider it as an act of god and probably wouldn't be willing to cover it. You may find someone willing but it will probbly be expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYorksDeano Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Thought it was all over now that the volcano was just emitting steam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Complete-Heat Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Its now been excluded from travel insurance. I've made enquiries as we go away soon. My insurance have told me that i can claim if the flight is delayed (as per usual) but it doesn't add up to much. Travel company still has a responsibility to take care of you if delayed on the return trip (again there is a minimum standard and only applys to european airlines). I have also paid for hol on card for further protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sawguitar Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hi Donuticus, Just to say thanks for the reply. Its a very grey area at the moment .Some Insurers call it an act of god,others will only insure if its a catastrophy. Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
