Travel Insurance

Cover and Limitations

The Raileasy insurance policy is insured by UK Underwriting Ltd on behalf of Fortis Insurance Ltd. Passengers may wish to insure their journey, particularly if it is of great distance, involves many connections or is over two hours long. We also recommend taking out insurance in times of extreme weather (such as snow) as this may affect the rail service. The policy covers you from up to £50.00 to up to £5000.00. The amount will vary depending on the type, reasons for claim and the evidence provided. Generally you are covered for the following:

  • Train Cancellation and delays*
  • Abandonment*
  • Missed departure or connection*
  • Personal accident or death*
  • Loss or damage to possessions*
  • Assault*
  • Convalescence*

 

*There are limitations and restrictions to the amount of cover you are entitled to which will affect any claim so we strongly suggest you read the insurance terms & conditions before opting to insure your journey.

Please note if you cancel your journey and the tickets that you have purchased are advance, non refundable tickets you will not be covered for a refund under the policy. If it is likely that you may cancel your journey and are unlikely to make the same journey again we suggest you purchase a flexible ticket, as this is refundable. Alternatively you may wish to re-book for a new date and time as all tickets are amendable. You have within 28 days of the original travel date for a single ticket or original return date for a return ticket to re-book, and tickets are available up to 12 weeks in advance, giving you a large time frame in which to undertake a new journey.
