What's travel insurance?

Travel insurance is financial protection against unforeseen circumstances while you’re travelling or on holiday. Depending on your level of cover it could protect you, your trip, and your property such as medical care, cancelled flights or lost luggage.

Information Message

We offer travel insurance with our packaged bank accounts

These are only available to existing NatWest current account customers.

Which accounts come with travel insurance?

Our Silver bank accounts come with European travel insurance. Our Platinum and Black bank accounts come with Worldwide travel insurance.

Do I legally need travel insurance?

No, you are not legally required to have travel insurance however it is a good idea.

Some tour operators may insist that you have travel insurance before they confirm your booking, especially to countries like the USA where there’s no public health service.

Why is travel insurance important?

If you have travel insurance, depending on your policy, it could cover the costs of unforeseen incidents such as health emergencies, cancelled flights or missing luggage.

This provides cover for you, your partner, and dependent children under 18 (or under 23 if in full time education) at the start of the journey. Children must be living at the home address (or with the other parent) and be neither married nor in a civil partnership.

For Silver account customers, only you and any joint account holder is covered.
