Insurance

It is important that your family has adequate travel/medical insurance during your stay in France. The European Health Insurance card (EHIC) alone is not adequate, nor is the free personal accident cover given by some credit cards.

Acceptance of your booking by Matthews Holidays is conditional upon you taking out cancellation, medical and third party risks insurance at the time of booking.

A normal UK comprehensive car insurance policy only provides third party cover when you travel outside the UK unless you extend the cover. You should comply with the terms of your own motor insurance policy and arrange for an extension of cover for Continental use before travel. Continental motoring assistance we offer is not a substitute for extending your comprehensive car insurance cover.

There are, of course, many different sources for travel insurance and vehicle assistance that you can choose from.  To assist you in your search, we are pleased to provide the following links to Voyager Insurance Services Ltd, who offer a range of travel and car breakdown assistance policies.  Please note that we cannot advise upon or recommend any particular insurance arrangements and any enquiries you may have related to the Voyager policies should be addressed to them directly.
