1. How long does it take for my new policy details to get to me?

If you've provided us with your home e-mail address we'll e-mail you your policy number, emergency loss line numbers and terms and conditions within 24 hours of receiving your application. You will also receive a (printed) policy pack within 14 days of receiving your application.

2. But I'm going on holiday tomorrow?

If you've provided us with your home e-mail address you may receive you're an e-mail containing your policy number, emergency loss line numbers and terms and conditions before you go.

All of the emergency services are available through our one, easy to remember number - 0870 780 1480 (or +44 870 780 1480 from outside the UK). You can print the terms and conditions from this site. Once you have successfully applied for a policy if you need to make a loss report or you need any other assistance, but do not have your policy number, we will be able to trace you by your name and postcode.

The only stipulation is that you must purchase your policy before leaving the UK. We are unable to offer cover once you have left your departure point.

3. Do I need to take my policy with me when I'm travelling?

It's always a good idea to take your policy with you because, apart from giving you details of your cover, it also includes the telephone numbers to call if you have a problem - for example the emergency phone numbers.

4. How do I update my e-mail address / other records / I've moved?

You can update your personal details online via the 'Update your policy details' section on the 'policy resources' page. (Click on the link in the 'Your options.....' box on the right of the 'policy resources' page).

Or you can ask us to update your records by e-mailing data-change@TravellersSOS.co.uk. Please do not e-mail us any credit card or bank details if they have changed. Call us on 0870 780 1480.

6. I've lost / forgotten my policy number.

No problem. If you need to use TravellersSOS we will be able to trace you via your name and postcode, and will confirm your identity by asking you security questions. If you want us to tell you your policy number please call us on 0870 780 1480.

7. What if I buy a policy but decide I don't need it?

We offer a 28-day money back guarantee. If during that time you decide you do not need TravellersSOS you can cancel it and we will refund your full premium. Outside that period we can cancel your policy, but there will be no refund.

However, we think we have provided all of the information you need to decide whether to buy right here, and if we've missed anything you can e-mail us before you buy. We're confident that, by the time you decided to take out a policy, you'll be sure you need it.

8. How do I cancel my policy?

We ask that you do this over the telephone on 0870 780 1480. This is for security reasons, as it allows us to confirm your identity via your registered details.

9. How do I cancel my FuturePay agreement for TravellersSOS?

When you cancel your TravellersSOS policy (by telephoning us on 0870 780 1480) we will automatically cancel your FuturePay agreement. You will receive an e-mail from Worldpay to confirm that your agreement has been cancelled.
