Review: Go Travel Insurance

Dan Woolley By Dan Woolley 11th November 2014

This article on GO Travel Insurance is part of a series of reviews we are featuring on different travel insurance companies and the policies they offer.

Summary

GO Travel Insurance is a relatively small travel insurance company, owned by the AA (the Automobile Association). In a review carried out by Fairer Finance, which looked at 29 travel insurance providers, GO Travel Insurance were placed at the very bottom. This suggests that GO may need to make a number of improvements to their policies and/or service.

GO Travel Insurance should not be confused with other insurance companies who operate under a similar-sounding name. There are several such companies: for example, Let’s Go Insure, Insure and Go and Go Walkabout.

Overview of the cover provided by GO Travel Insurance policies

GO offer three travel insurance products: GO single trip, GO Annual travel insurance or GO Backpacker. Cover for Winter Sports can also be appended to these policies.

It’s important to note that none of the policies offered by GO travel insurance offer cover for pre-existing medical conditions.
