Do any Travel Insurance companies cover COVID?

Just that really. Looking to book a holiday next February to a Spanish island and all the Airbnb's we've seen, if you need to cancel due to COVID then you only get 50% of holiday cost minus the service fee.

Has anyone found any travel insurance which would cover cancelling, cutting short or any other COVID related holiday issues?

Yes, but I've not found one that covers missing flights etc because you need to self isolate.

Sorry that wasnt very clear. I've found policies that insure you if you miss the holiday, or have to extend it, because you have COVID and cover any associated medical costs but not any that cover missing/extending due to self isolation.

Allianz covers isolating, or it did a few months ago. I've got insurance through my bank account with Lloyds and that does as well

Lots do. Have a look at the travel insurance guide on the brilliant Moneysavingexpert website, it lists companies that cover many Covid eventualities including if you have to self-isolate due to contact with a case.

Thanks all! The wording on insurance policies always seems deliberately opaque to me. Guess that's how they make their £££!

Staysure cover Covid and there's an option to include Amber list coverage in Europe for all of £6 more on an annual policy

Staysure have great coverage

Getcover.com cover cancelation if you need to isolate due to test and trace or getting covid I think.

LV covers you for if you have to cancel due to you or a travelling companion getting a positive test before travel.

Thanks everyone, this is a massive help!

Barclays do this. Unfortunately, they have stopped selling new policies.
