Volcanic Ash Cloud and Travel Insurance Cover

Air passengers are once again being delayed and possible cancellation of flights due to the new volcanic ash cloud from Iceland’s Grimsvotn volcano.

If you have purchased Travel Insurance that covers travel delay or cancellation due to volcanic ash before the situation unfolded. The insurer will honor claims as long as the Travel Insurance was purchased before 8am on 22 May 2011.

Delay, abandonment and costs incurred while abroad are covered through our Towergate AUL policy. If your airline offers to pay for accommodation the travel insurer will not do so too.

    Anyone with travel insurance through HSBC (including premier and advance account holders, M&S and First Direct) can make a claim as they are paying out for the volcanic disruption. they are also not charging those who are stuck abroad to withdraw cash from overseas atm’s.
