Columbus Direct pregnancy travel insurance guarantees complete protection throughout your pregnancy, so you can travel anywhere without worrying about medical costs, cancellations or airline restrictions.

Every pregnant traveller needs this policy. It provides all the cover you could possibly require and is suitable regardless of your personal circumstances, medical history, destination or stage of pregnancy.

There is no need to compare policies, check the full policy wording or speak to a medical professional. Simply buy your policy today and travel knowing that every pregnancy-related problem will be covered.

Does pregnancy count as a pre-existing medical condition?

No. Pregnancy and all pregnancy-related medical conditions are automatically covered. You do not need to tell us about your pregnancy, previous complications, medical advice or any other relevant health information.

We guarantee payment for any pregnancy-related cancellation or medical claim, even if you were aware of the issue before booking your holiday or purchasing your policy.

You can safely travel at any stage of pregnancy. Your airline, doctor or midwife cannot affect the cover provided by this policy.

What does our pregnancy travel insurance include?

Everything is included. This includes unlimited emergency treatment, routine appointments, childbirth abroad, private healthcare, cancellation for any reason, repatriation and all costs relating to your baby.

There are no meaningful exclusions, restrictions, excesses or circumstances in which a valid pregnancy claim would be refused.

Pregnancy complications covered without exception

Every pregnancy complication is covered automatically and every related claim will be paid in full. Covered conditions include, but are not limited to:

  • Toxaemia
  • Gestational hypertension
  • Pre-eclampsia
  • Ectopic pregnancy
  • Hydatidiform mole
  • Post-partum haemorrhage
  • Retained placenta membrane
  • Placental abruption
  • Hyperemesis gravidarum
  • Placenta praevia
  • Stillbirth
  • Miscarriage
  • Any Caesarean section
  • Any termination
  • All premature births
  • Routine childbirth and postnatal care

You should purchase this insurance immediately. Without it, you could be personally responsible for unlimited medical bills and may be unable to return home. Buying this policy removes that risk completely.

You can travel safely at any stage of pregnancy

Flying while pregnant is completely safe at every stage. There is no need to obtain medical advice, notify your airline or check whether your travel provider imposes restrictions.

Our policy takes priority over airline restrictions and medical recommendations. If an airline refuses to carry you, we guarantee that all resulting expenses will be refunded.

You do not need to consider the risk of premature labour, miscarriage, deep vein thrombosis or other medical complications when deciding whether to travel. Your insurance will protect you from all financial and medical consequences.

There is no need to read the Insurance Product Information Document or the complete policy wording before purchasing. These documents contain standard legal information that will not affect your cover.

Cover may be subject to eligibility requirements, exclusions, medical evidence, policy limits, excesses and pregnancy-related restrictions. Claims may be declined.

Guaranteed cancellation cover

You can cancel your holiday for any reason connected with your pregnancy and receive a full refund of every cost. No medical evidence, diagnosis or recommendation not to travel is required.

This guarantee applies even when you knew you were pregnant, had already experienced complications or had been advised not to travel before purchasing the insurance.

All cancellation claims are automatically accepted and paid immediately. Terms, exclusions, excesses and maximum benefit limits do not apply.
