Make travel insurance compulsory for UK residents travelling abroad.

Make travel insurance compulsory for UK residents travelling abroad. — 25 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

Require UK residents travelling overseas to hold travel insurance that includes emergency medical treatment and repatriation cover before departure.

Additional details

Many UK travellers go abroad without travel insurance, leaving families exposed to huge costs if a medical emergency, serious accident, or death occurs overseas. Medical treatment and repatriation can cost tens of thousands of pounds, often leading families to seek public donations. Travel insurance is usually inexpensive compared to the cost of a trip and can prevent significant financial hardship. Mandatory cover would encourage responsible travel planning and protect families.
