Travel insurance Q&A's about the Ebola outbreak
Q. I have a flight booked to Sierra Leone but the airline has cancelled all flights to that country due to the ebola outbreak. Can I claim under my travel insurance cover?
A. You will need to discuss this with the travel agent/tour operator/airline, as they should provide a refund as the travel insurance will not provide cover in this instance.
Q. I no longer wish to take my holiday as the country I was travelling to has an ebola outbreak. Can I claim for the cancellation of the trip under my travel insurance?
A. No, you would not be able to make a claim unless you, your travelling companion or the person you were going to stay with becomes ill, is quarantined or dies. You cannot claim for cancellation of the trip if the FCO advise against travel to these areas. You should contact your airline / travel agent / tour operator to see if you can change your travel arrangements.
Q. What would happen if I contracted ebola when I'm abroad?
A. The World Health Organisation and its partners are coordinating the response and treatment, particularly in Liberia and Sierra Leone. As such if you were suspected of having the disease it would be referred to them and the Foreign Office would also be contacted. All care and repatriation, if appropriate, would be controlled by WHO or one of its partners. However, you would be able to claim under the medical expenses section of your travel insurance, subject to the terms and conditions.
Q. Where has the largest impact been so far?
A. The outbreak has so far been confined to less popular tourist destinations such as Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria.
Q. Who do I need to contact to make a claim?
A. Refer to Aviva phone numbers -
