What are Pre-Paid charges?

Find out what counts as a pre-paid travel expense, including car hire, accommodation, excursions and sports-related costs.

Pre-paid charges are costs you have paid, or are contracted to pay, before travelling.

These can include:

  • Car hire and car parking.

  • Airport accommodation and airport lounge access.

  • Kennel and cattery fees.

  • Pre-booked excursions.

  • Golf green fees, ski school fees, lift passes and hired sports equipment.

Sports and activity-related charges are only covered where your policy covers the relevant activity.

In particular:

  • Winter Sports cover is required for ski school fees, lift passes and hired ski equipment.

  • Golf cover is required for green fees and hired golf equipment.

Pre-paid charges may be claimable if you need to cancel or cut short your trip for a covered reason, subject to the relevant policy conditions.

Important: All cover is subject to the policy terms, conditions, exclusions, cover limits and any applicable excess.
