Cutting your trip short means ending your trip early and returning to the United Kingdom before your planned return date because something happens that is outside your control and is covered by your policy.
What you should know
- It only applies if you actually return to the United Kingdom earlier than planned.
- Your policy may cover unused travel and accommodation costs which you have paid for before departing your home country, but cannot use because you return early (which varies based on your policy).
- If you need to return early because of a serious medical emergency, contact the emergency assistance team as soon as possible.
- Keep any receipts and documents that show why you had to return early, as you will need these if you make a claim.
reasons for cover and what you need to do can vary, so it’s important to check your policy documents.
