DEMANDS AND NEEDS STATEMENT
Lochs & Glens Holidays Client Holiday Travel Insurance is typically suitable for travel customers who wish to insure
themselves for medical emergencies, delayed or missed departures, cancellation, interruptions, lost, stolen or delayed
possessions, personal accident and personal liability.
The levels of cover may vary depending on where you travel (whether in your country of residence or abroad).
Travel insurance does not cover everything. You should read this policy wording document carefully to make sure it
provides the cover you need.
You may already possess alternative travel insurance for some or all of the features and benefits provided by this Travel
Insurance policy. It is your responsibility to investigate this.
We and your coach tour operator have not provided you with any recommendation or advice about whether this
product meets your specific insurance requirements.
This policy is our contract with you. Please read it carefully. We have tried to make it simple and easy to understand
while also clearly describing the terms and conditions of your cover. If you have any questions, just visit us online or
give us a call using the information shown under ‘Important contact details’ at the end of this policy. If your travel
arrangements change, please be sure to let your coach tour operator know so they can make any necessary updates
to your policy.
This policy has been issued based on the information you provided at the time of purchase. We will provide the
insurance described in this policy in return for payment of the premium and your compliance with all provisions of
this policy. You will also notice that some words are in bold italics. These words are defined in the ‘Definitions’ section.
Words that are capitalised refer to the document and cover names found in this policy. Headings are provided for
convenience only and do not affect your cover in any way.
Note: Not every loss is covered, even if it is due to something sudden, unexpected or out of your control. Only those
losses meeting the conditions described in this policy document may be covered. Please refer to the General Exclusions
section of this document for exclusions applicable to all cover under your policy.
Governing Law
Unless agreed otherwise, English law will apply and all communications and documentation in relation to this policy
will be in English. In the event of a dispute concerning this policy the English courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
Cancellation Rights
If your cover does not meet your requirements, please notify your coach tour operator within 14 days of receiving
your insurance confirmation and return all your documents for a refund of your premium.
If during this 14 day period you have travelled, made a claim or intend to make a claim then we can recover all costs
that you have used for those services.
Note: Your cancellation rights are no longer valid after this initial 14 day period.

Financial Services Compensation Scheme (Fscs)
For your added protection, we are covered by the FSCS. You may be entitled to compensation from the scheme if we
cannot meet our obligations to you, such as not being able to pay a claim.
The scheme covers 90% of any claim to do with us advising on and arranging this policy, with no upper limit. You can
get more information about the compensation scheme from the FSCS by phoning 0800 678 1100 or 0207 741 4100,
or by visiting their website at [Link].
Excess
Under some sections of cover, you will be responsible for the first portion of a claim, which is commonly known as an
excess.
The excess is the sum we will deduct from the amount otherwise payable under this policy for each person insured,
for each section, for each claim incident. For example a couple that both have baggage stolen from their bag and both
incur a medical expense during the same journey, will have a total of four excesses deducted. Two of these will be for
the two claims for stolen baggage (under Section D) and two of these will be for the two claims for medical treatment
(under Section F).
• If you do not have a valid EHIC or it is due to expire before you travel, you can apply for a GHIC. This entitles you
to reduced-cost, sometimes free, medical treatment that becomes necessary while you are in a European Union
(EU) country.
• These cards give access to state-provided medical treatment only. Remember, this might not cover all the things
you would expect to get free of charge from the NHS in the UK. You may have to make a contribution to the cost
of your care.
• You may apply for an GHIC online at [Link] or by calling 0300 330 1350.
Note: The EHIC/GHIC does not cover the cost of medical treatment in a private hospital or clinic, the additional cost
of returning to your country of residence or for a relative to stay or fly out to be with you. In a medical emergency
you may have no control over the hospital you are taken to and the closest hospital may be private.

We, Us or Our - Allianz Assistance, acting on behalf of the insurer - AWP P&C SA.
You or Your - All persons listed as being insured on the policy confirmation document or schedule.
It is very important that you read the following and, where necessary, declare any pre-existing medical conditions
to us.
For UK, Channel Islands and Isle of Man trips only (except Air & Cruise Holidays)
You will not be covered under this policy for any claims arising as a direct or indirect of any pre-existing medical
condition, unless you can comply with the following:
1. You are fit to travel and undertake your planned trip when you take out this policy, book your trip or at the
time you travel (whichever is later).
2. Following any claim investigation, your doctor confirms they would have agreed with or recommended your
travel plans when you took out this policy, booked your trip or at the time you travelled (whichever is later).
3. You are not travelling for the purpose of having medical treatment or a consultation during your trip.
4. You are not awaiting any medical tests, investigations or surgery, or the outcome of any tests or investigations
when you take out this policy or book your trip (whichever is later).
For trips outside of the UK plus all Air & Cruise Holidays
You will not be covered for any claims arising as a direct or indirect result of any pre-existing medical condition if,
in the 12 months before taking out this policy or booking your trip (whichever is later), you:
1. were prescribed medication;
2. received treatment or consulted a doctor or other medical practitioner for any medical condition;
3. attended a hospital or a clinic as an outpatient or inpatient;
4. were referred for tests, investigations, treatment or surgery, or are waiting for either results or a diagnosis;
5. had any symptoms of an undiagnosed medical condition or have had a terminal illness;
unless you told us about the pre-existing medical condition and we have agreed in writing to cover it.
If you have not already done so, you should contact our confidential medical screening service as soon as possible
after taking out this insurance policy and/or booking your trip to declare a pre-existing medical condition (or
conditions): Phone: 02392 419063
Based on the medical information you provide, we will confirm if cover can be offered for your declaredpre-existing
medical condition (or conditions), and if an extra premium needs to be paid. Occasionally, we may need you to get
extra medical information (at your cost) from your doctor to enable us to make a decision.
If an extra premium is required, cover will not start until this has been paid in full and we have issued written confirmation.
If we are unable to cover the pre-existing medical condition (or conditions), this will mean that you and any other
person insured by us will not be covered for any directly or indirectly related claims arising from the pre-existing
medical condition (or conditions). This applies even if the person with the pre-existing medical condition (or
conditions) decides to buy cover from another provider.
Each person insured by us would still be covered for any unrelated (or conditions), subject to the terms and conditions
of this policy.
Exclusions relating to the health of someone not insured on this policy, but whose health may affect your
decision whether to take or continue with your trip:
9
You will not be covered for any directly or indirectly related claims (see note at the end of this section) arising from
the health of a travelling companion, someone you were going to stay with, a family member or a business associate
if at the time your policy was issued:
• you were aware they had undiagnosed medical condition(s) for which they were awaiting tests, investigations
or the results of these;
• you were aware that their medical condition(s) were unstable, were likely to get worse in the next 12 months
or they had been diagnosed as having a terminal condition.
Note: Only claims relating to a medical condition where any of the above apply will be affected. This includes indirectly
related claims. For example, if someone breaks a bone and a doctor confirms it is related to an existing diagnosis of
osteoporosis (brittle bone disease), this would not be covered if we have not agreed in writing to cover the osteoporosis.
This also means that any other person insured by us will not be covered for any directly or indirectly related claims
arising from the pre-existing medical condition (or conditions). This applies even if the person with the medical
condition (or conditions) decides to buy cover from another provider.
Each person insured by us would still be covered for any unrelated medical condition (or conditions), subject to the
terms and conditions of this policy.
The policy is effective the day the insurance is purchased and the full premium is paid. The purchase must be made
and the full premium be paid on or before the departure date. In all cases this must be before you leave your primary
residence to start your trip.
Cover is only provided for losses that occur while your policy is in effect.
The departure date and return date that you provided at time of purchase are counted as two separate days of travel
when we calculate the duration of your trip.
Your policy ends on the cover end date listed in your policy confirmation or schedule. However, there are situations
where your policy may end on a different date. Your policy will end on the earliest of:
1. At 23:59 on the day you cancel your policy;
2. At 23:59 on the day you cancel your trip or file a trip cancellation claim with us (whichever is earlier)
3. At 23:59 on the day you end your trip, even if you end your trip early;
4. At 23:59 on the day you arrive at a medical facility in your country of residence for further care if you end
your trip due to a medical reason; or
5. At 23:59 on the 70th day of the trip.
However, if your return travel is delayed due to a reason covered under this policy, we will extend your cover period
until the earlier of when you are able to return to your point of origin or primary residence, or until you arrive at a
medical facility for further care following a medical repatriation or trip interruption.
Note: This policy applies for a specific trip and cannot be renewed.

you are travelling from, to or through, you will be covered in the area or country shown on your booking confirmation
invoice.

area, building or vessel (including shelter-in-place, stay-at-home, safer-at-home or other similar restriction),
