Almost half of insurance policies don’t cover strike action
Nearly half of insurance policies won’t compensate holidaymakers during industrial action, analysis by Which? has found.
The consumer watchdog reviewed nearly 200 policies from 71 different providers.
It found that 40% offer no cover for strike action.
“We advise travellers to always check policies carefully to ensure they offer the cover that will be most appropriate to their trip,” said Jenny Ross, money editor at Which?.
It leaves thousands of travellers unprotected as summer strikes loom.
EasyJet workers in Spain are expected to strike during July, and over 700 workers at Heathrow voted for walk-outs at Heathrow.
‘Travellers “should ensure they’ve taken out adequate insurance to cover any losses or unexpected costs,’ Ross added.
Which? also reviewed cover against Covid-related disruptions.
It found big differences in the level of cover provided.
It found less than 10% offered emergency medical care if they catch Covid, and cancellation compensation if testing positive before a trip.
