Couple
Two adults who have been permanently living together at the same address for more than six months.

Doctor
A legally qualified doctor who holds the necessary certification in the country they are currently practising in. The person must not be related to you or anyone you are travelling with.

Excess, excesses
The amount we will take off for each insured person, for each section, for each incident claimed for. For example, a couple who both have personal belongings stolen from their room and both have to pay medical costs during the same trip, will have a total of four excesses taken from the total amount they claim. Two of these excesses will be for two claims under ‘Section 1 – Emergency medical and associated expenses’ and two of these will be for the two claims under ‘Section 3 – Personal belongings’. If you have paid an extra premium for excess waiver cover, the excess will not apply.

Family
Two adults and up to four of their children (including foster children) aged two to 17. Infants aged under two are covered free, if travelling with an insured adult. All members of the family must live at the same address (see the note below).

Note: If you are divorced or separated and your children do not live permanently with you they can still be covered under this policy.
