Glo Health Travel option -Is it enough travel insurance coverage?

    We have our health insurance via GLO HEALTH and when purchasing I selected the travel option:

    do you think I should still take out travel insurance or is this sufficient?

    It's been a while since I've travelled anywhere and am unsure what I need as it's my first time abroad with children.

    Thanks

    I think you'd need normal travel insurance too. That only covers certain medical parts of travel. You'd have no cover for delays/cancellation/robbery etc.

    most travel insurance companies nowadays will give a discount if you already have the health side of things covered so you're not paying for it twice.

    Their travel insurance is the same as a multi trip travel insurance so it does cover lost luggage, robbery etc. it probably gives sufficient cover for regular insurance but I suggest you call them to confirm levels of cover are high enough for you.

    Sorry I hadn't clicked into the second link. You do have cover alright then, might be worth even comparing to a few online travel quotes just to see how the level of cover compares.
    Didn't see it mentioned there at a quick glance but make sure it fully covers whatever country you are going to and isn't a restricted list.
