Review: Aviva Travel Insurance

Ronny Lavie By Ronny Lavie 12th July 2018

Summary

Aviva is the largest provider of insurance in the UK and have 34 million customers worldwide. The brand was launched in 2002, but the company has a legacy spanning over 300 years.

You can get a quote at the Aviva website.

Overview of the cover provided by the Aviva travel insurance policy

Unlike most other insurers who offer different tiers of cover (e.g gold, silver and bronze or basic, classic and premium etc.), Aviva only offers one type of cover, with option for Single Trip or Annual Multi-Trip. While this means you can’t choose the level of cover for cancellation and lost baggage, Aviva do provide the option to choose whether you want to include baggage cover at all, as well as other optional extras such as winter sports, travel disruption and extended stay cover.

Aviva have quite an extensive list of exclusions, and so it is highly important to review the policy documents carefully and understand exactly what is and isn’t covered under the Aviva travel insurance policy.

Cover for medical conditions with Aviva Travel Insurance

Cover for certain medical conditions can be provided on top of your basic quote – you will have to fill in an online questionnaire relating to the circumstances of your condition. Aviva will then decide whether they can provide cover, and what extra premium they require. It is possible you will need to call them directly to obtain a quote, as they may need further information about your health.

When seeking cover for pre-existing medical conditions, it’s important to always disclose all the details fully and honestly, and to review through the terms and conditions carefully, to make sure nothing about your personal medical circumstances that could invalidate any potential claim.

Cost of an Aviva travel insurance quote

At the time of writing, Aviva offers a 10% online discount that applies to the core cover of the the policy but not to add-ons.

At the time of writing, they offer a 20% discount on annual policies for existing customers.

Travel insurance premiums vary widely depending on personal circumstances, such as the age and state of health of the person or people travelling and the destination. Some locations, particularly the US, Canada and the Caribbean, are more expensive to get cover for, due to the cost of medical treatment in those regions. That said, as a guideline, we got the following quotes from Aviva:

MULTI TRIP Travel Insurance, Worldwide – a couple in their 50s

  • With baggage cover included = £141.62; Medical cover = £10 million; Max trip duration = 90 days
  • Without baggage cover included = £123.85; Medical cover = £10 million; Max trip duration = 90 days

SINGLE TRIP Travel Insurance, Spain, 2 weeks – one 34yr old woman travelling solo

  • With baggage cover included = £31.29; Medical cover = £10 million; Max trip duration = 90 days
  • Without baggage cover included = £29.98; Medical cover = £10 million; Max trip duration = 90 days

What we say

Aviva is an established, well-respected brand. That said, their quote process could be easier to navigate and the lack of choice when it comes to cover level may not suit everyone.

What Aviva's travel insurance customers say

We couldn't find any reviews of just Aviva's travel policies but on Trustpilot, the company scores 1.1 out of 10 based on over 500 customer reviews.
