Joanne Donnelly Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Hey all....hoping I can find travel information on where we are able to get a insurance policy for the one way trip?? if so who with?! really struggling to find a company offering any cover. We are residents but requiring to re-emigrating home to the UK asap. Our container has already arrived ! Our flights were cancelled 3 days previous (March 18th) to leaving. Any heads up of companies would be so so helpful...looking to fly on July 28th, with the exemption in place. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on their websites, you rarely see a one way option tick box, you just need to enter dates to cover the time span on your journey, say 48 hours to be on the safe side. Due to the current virus situation, I would call them first just to check they will provide cover to the UK if your travel ban is still in place and explain your situation. When we lived in Australia, I used Covermore for our trips many times, easy to use website and they are also good at covering pre existing conditions.

Joanne Donnelly Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Hey thanks for the prompt replies however not one single company is currently offering one way travel policies, ive called 10 now. Only CGU are offering travel insurance of any sort but they only offer 'single trip' which requires we return to Australia (date). Would/should we just take this literally (only) option and hope its all valid in the event of a claim?? anybody else experienced this situation? Covermore dont offer any oneway covers...called them earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very strange as I've taken out one way - not single trip - a few times over the past two years. Do not take out a single trip policy because if you needed to make a claim, your policy would be invalid, dangerous position to find yourself in. We're in the process of doing the same thing, but UK to Australia, some companies are selling one way here, maybe you could use the services of an insurance broker ? could be more expensive but worth it for the reassurance !
