How to add insurance to your holiday

If you take out insurance when booking your holiday, the price of the insurance premium will be added to your holiday cost. Your statement of cover will be sent to you with your booking confirmation.

If you haven't yet booked your holiday, simply tick the box that you'll find during the online booking process. If you prefer to book over the phone, you can request insurance when you call.

If you've already booked, adding insurance to an existing booking is easy. Just give us a call on 01709 249 686 and we'll be happy to add it on for you.

You can use your own travel insurance if you have it, but you must contact us with the policy details and emergency contact numbers before departing on your Shearings holiday.

Not the right level of cover to meet your Travel Insurance needs?

If we can’t offer you the cover you want, or your premium is higher than you wanted because you have medical conditions, you may be able to get help by accessing the Money and Pensions Service travel directory at: https://traveldirectory.moneyadviceservice.org.uk/ent or by calling 0800 138 777 (Open Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm).
