I phoned Direct Travel Insurance to renew my policy today but they no longer include Egypt and Tunisia as part of a European policy.
They still include Turkey so maybe its something to do with the recent troubles in the former two.
They will include them as part of a Worldwide policy but I dont want to go to the extra expense.
I want to warn anyone who have previously had these 2 counties included to check with their insurance company.
To clarify this a bit further Jay Trip's insurance conditions changed AFTER it was purchased and she was never informed of these changes, so if you do have a policy covering Europe and are travelling to a country in North Africa please ensure that you are still insured.
I am just glad that when I went to Tunisia in March I did not need any assistance from my Travel insurance.
Thanks for that Jay Trip. I'll certainly check if I'm still covered. My annual insurance is part of a package of 'extras' from my credit card company and the only bit that I actually use, indeed I needed them a couple of years ago when I finished up in hospital in Sousse following an accident. If they no longer cover Tunisia I'll cancel the package and just get single trip insurance in future.
If I have to have Worldwide Insurance it looks like we will be taking UK holidays.
I haven't really looked at my insurance for ages, but I'll certainly have to check it out. In the old days Tunisia at least was included in Europe with most companies. As you get older insurance gets more expensive, especially if you have any history of medical problems
