U.K. holiday travel insurance

4 replies

I want to take out travel insurance for our U.K. cottage holiday at start of school holidays.
What I want cover for is if my son has to self isolate after a burst bubble at school.
A lot of policies now offer cover if you are told to self isolate by government test and trace. Would this include school bubble closures. Last time it closed we got a letter from school on PHE headed note paper (I think) but I don’t know if it’s officially government test and trace.
I’d also like cover for local lockdown if anyone knows of a good company to look at. Thanks

Following as I'm in the same position!

You should have still be contacted by Test and Trace regardless. The school should have passed all details of close contacts over

I think you will struggle but it is a genuine concern .

If you can't find a policy I would contact the cottage owner and ask them what their policy would be. One I stayed last week said that their policy would be that they would try and re-let and in the event that they did, we'd get a refund minus a small admin fee. If it's in the summer holidays it's almost certain they would be able to relet with a few days notice. .

School closures don't get a T&T call genuinely. The information to self isolate comes via the school but the school is acting on behalf of PHE. A school self isolation notice should be treated the same as one from T&T.
