What you are covered for

We will pay up to the overall limit shown on the Schedule of Benefits for the necessary and reasonable extra costs of travel and accommodation you need if you cannot reach the original departure point of your booked journey on the outward or return journey because public transport fails or the vehicle in which you are travelling is involved in an accident or breaks down.

It is a condition of the cover provided under this section that:

• you must allow enough time to arrive at your departure point at or before the recommended time;
• you must get confirmation of the reason for the delay and how long it lasts from the appropriate authority; and
• if your claim relates to a vehicle breaking down, you must give us evidence that the vehicle was properly serviced and maintained and that any recovery or repair was made by a recognised breakdown organisation.

What you are not covered for

• The first £50 of each claim, for each insured person.
• Any claim that is the result of a strike or industrial action that you knew about before you started your trip .
