Know Your High Risk Voyager Zones
High Risk Voyager Travel Insurance is designed differently from standard travel insurance policies. Instead of relying on geographic regions, we have risk Zones.
Zones are not just based on geography but also consider other important factors like political instability and security concerns. Each area or region can then be assigned to a Zone based on it risk level. If a situation develops in an area or region, where there is a change in the FCDO then we can move it into a new Zone to better reflect the new risk level, be it up or down.
Some countries, where the situation is fluid and can rapidly change, we have to quote on a case by case basis, these are paces in Bespoke Zones.
This approach ensures that your coverage is aligned with the actual risks of your destination. To ensure you are properly covered, it is crucial to select the correct Zone when purchasing your policy.
Excluded Territories:
- Due to international sanctions, we're unable to provide policies for trips to Belarus or Russia
- Due to the ongoing conflict we are unale to provide policies for trips to Iran
