TRAVEL INSURANCE

Nobody expects to cancel or curtail their travel arrangements, but every year generally due to unfortunate circumstances there are a few who are left in this position. When considering whether to take travel insurance or not it is most important that you understand the financial loss which you will incur in relation to not only your holiday costs but also those associated with medical and health cover for an injury or sudden illness abroad. For example, an air ambulance is likely to cost in excess of £45,000.00 from the UK to the USA’s east coast. Even a scheduled flight, stretcher and doctor escort to Australia will be in excess of £20,000.00. Many people think their credit card accident cover, home insurance, or private health cover is sufficient but in most situations, this is not the case.

YOUR TRAVEL INSURANCE SHOULD COVER THE WHOLE TIME YOU ARE AWAY AND INCLUDE A MINIMUM OF THE FOLLOWING:

CANCELLATION OR CURTAILMENT COVER: A number of situations may cause you to call off your trip or cut it short. This may be for a number of reasons including the following:

  • Injury or illness of insured, travel companion, family member, or business partner

  • Hurricane or natural disaster strikes destination

  • Terrorism or mandatory evacuation at destination

  • Home or business damaged, vandalised, or burglarized

  • An epidemic or pandemic disease

  • Jury duty or military redeployment

  • Required to work, terminated, or transferred

  • Victim of felonious assault prior to the trip

  • Traffic accident prior to the trip

  • Theft of passport or visa prior to the trip

MEDICAL AND HEALTH COVER: Medical and Health Cover for an injury or sudden illness abroad, 24-hour emergency service and assistance, personal liability cover in case you are sued for causing injury or damaging property, lost and stolen possessions cover, extra cover for hazardous activities that are commonly excluded from standard policies.

LUGGAGE: Reimbursement for lost, stolen or damaged luggage and belongings throughout your trip along with travel assistance to replace lost or stolen prescriptions, passports, visas or other important travel documents.

DELAYS: Coverage for trip delay and baggage delay, providing reimbursement for unplanned hotel expenses, meals, clothing and transportation costs.

IMPORTANT: Always ensure that your policy refunds the full cost of your holiday and that your policy includes ‘Cancel-For-Any-Reason’ cover. It must payout if you need to cancel or cut short a trip. Your policy should also cover any pre-paid expenses such as excursions, golf, dinners. Also, it is common practice for insurance providers to only accept applications within a few days of making a reservation and paying the deposit for a schedule. It is therefore recommended that insurance should be taken early in the booking process.

First class start to finish. We had a couple curve balls with flight delays etc.. and the St Andrews Golf Travel team adapted and ensured our trip stayed on track. Thoughtful hosts, excellent accommodations, and impeccable service. Can't wait to come back and enjoy their hospitality again.

Our group of 8 played 4 rounds in St Andrews in Aug 2023. So many great posts already about the professionalism, dedication, and service provided by the St Andrews Golf Travel team it's challenging to offer a different take. Everything was a 5 star experience. Thank you Graeme, Marc, and the rest of the team. We'll be back!

Graeme and Marc are absolutely wonderful. We planned an 8-man trip to Scotland and every detail was perfect. Their service was impeccable. After meeting several other similar groups on Troon and St. Andrews, we felt very fortunate to have conducted our trip with St. Andrews Golf Travel. Every detail was carefully curated and all coordination, transportation and accommodations were flawless. I can't thank them enough and we are already looking forward to an Ireland trip with them.

Incredible! from my very first inquiry over two years ago until the completion of our trip on 8/13/2023 Graeme, Marc and St Andrews Golf Travel are 5 stars. Graeme would always follow-up within an hour or two even though the time difference was 5 hours. He planned every single detail of the trip and it was exactly as he said it would be. The golf was incredible, stayed at great places, ate incredible food and had a wonderful driver in Andy. I wouldn't or consider anybody else for our next golf trip across the pond! Graeme/Marc Thank you both and Cheers

This was the 5th time I’ve been to St Andrew’s for a golf trip, 4th time organizing a trip for 8 golfers, including myself. Covid canceled our original trip, so pushed back to July 2024!
Not only did Marc stick with us, he made the trip even better! I’m located in Scottsdale Arizona and Marc was always there for us and went way and beyond any other tour operator I’ve ever worked with. Hotel was close to Old course and Angus was a great host. Newly refurbished rooms & Fantastic breakfast at Bibi’s cafe to start our days. 5 of the lads had never been before and guaranteed Old course time didn’t disappoint. Marc secured all requested courses and was even able to move tee time back for our final round at Dumbarnie. Thanks again St Andrews Golf Travel.
If your looking for a tour company, look no farther than St Andrews Golf Travel!
