AXA Investec Visa Platinum travel insurance and Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Everyone who travels wants to do so with confidence, and that includes knowing what cover is in place if COVID-19 affects your trip.
AXA Investec Visa Platinum travel insurance includes cover for emergency medical costs, which would cover you for COVID-19 costs as long as you haven't travelled against Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) advice. You’ll also be covered for cancellation if you, a close relative or someone you're travelling with becomes ill, is quarantined or refused boarding due to COVID-19. We’ll ask you to verify the details of your claim with a medical certificate or an official test result.
The scenarios below are designed to explain some of what AXA Investec Visa Platinum travel insurance does and doesn’t cover:
Cancelling due to COVID-19
