Investec Bank Travel Insurance

Any new account opened or trip booked will not cover any cancellation:

where you cannot travel or choose not to travel because the World Health Organisation or any other government body’s advice in your home country or the country you are travelling to advises against travel due to a pandemic.
where you cancel your trip and the reason for cancelling is not listed in the ‘what is covered’ section, including but not limited to an event you were due to travel to being cancelled, or your change in desire to travel.

The travel insurance cover attached to your account includes emergency medical costs, meaning we will cover your medical costs related to Coronavirus provided you haven’t travelled against World Health Organisation or any other government body’s advice in your home country or the country you are travelling to) or medical advice.

The travel insurance cover attached to your account also includes cancellation cover and we will cover cancellation if you, a close relative or travelling companion become ill, quarantined or are refused boarding due to Coronavirus, subject to a medical certificate or an official test result.

For any new account opened, or trips booked, all benefits will continue to apply except cancellation exclusions listed above.
