Unless your destination requires a COVID test, then you have no obligation to take one prior to travel under our policy. If your destination does require a test or you wish to take one as you feel unwell, we would generally recommend using a private test as noted below, as this will include a standardised Fit (or unfit) to Fly Travel certificate. As standard the following options are available to you to prove you have tested positive:
A private test from a provider that provides a Travel certificate, for example* https://lloydspharmacy.com/pages/covid-test-for-travel
Any other written confirmation of a positive COVID test from a relevant source for example a pharmacy, doctors surgery or hospital.
* Please note this is not an endorsement of this particular provider; we use this as an example as they are a high street provider in the UK.
No. Our policies do not cover the cost of COVID tests either prior to, during, or post your travel
Note: Our claims team will assess costs for COVID tests required by a doctor or hospital as part of a valid claim for emergency medical assistance on a case by case basis. Claims for COVID tests for any other reason (for example, pre-departure, in hotel/venue, or post arrival tests) will not be covered.
