Which Travel Insurance Policy Would Best Suit Me?

Unlike most travel insurance providers, we at Thomas Cook Essentials cut the price not the cover. Instead of providing across-the-board cover for all our customers, our policies are made flexible so as to cater towards each of customer's individual needs - as well as their pockets. Choose from one of two holiday insurance packages:

  • Traveller: Traveller Cover is a favourite amongst our frequent 'holiday-makers'. You can receive up to ₤5 million in emergency medical cover plus loads more other benefits.
  • Traveller Gold: Our top-of-the-range premium cover, Traveller Gold offers our customers a wide range of additional benefits and a substantially higher cover level. Traveller Gold is rated one of our top quality products in the market.
  • Top Up Cover: Additional extras can be added to your policy with our unique Top Up Cover. This includes cover for winter sports, cruises, weddings, business travel, golf as well as independent travel.
