When your standard cancellation limit isn't enough.
Some trips cost more than a standard travel insurance cancellation limit will cover. Our top-up cancellation insurance increases that cover, protecting your full holiday investment — even for higher-value trips.
How top-up cancellation insurance works
An additional policy that increases the cancellation limit of your main travel insurance, working alongside it rather than replacing it.
Enhanced cover limits
When your main policy's cancellation limit isn't enough for the full cost of your trip, a top-up increases that protection.
Filling cover gaps
Some primary policies have exclusions or restrictions that leave you partially uncovered — top-up cover can bridge those gaps.
Customised protection
Tailored to match your travel plans, including high-value non-refundable bookings, luxury accommodation, or other significant costs.
Financial peace of mind
Safeguards your trip investment from unexpected events such as illness, injury, or other insured reasons for cancellation.
Booked a higher-value trip and want to check your existing cancellation limit is enough?

Does this replace my existing travel insurance?
No — top-up cancellation insurance is designed to complement, not replace, your existing policy. Always review the terms of both policies to ensure they work together, and that you're not paying for overlapping cover. Check the limits, exclusions, excesses, and eligibility carefully before you travel.
