Corona virus aside who do people get their travel insurance with? Normal companies or angling specific?

3rd april is the end of the Italian restrictions so unless its extended you might be ok.
If you obtained good insurance before the restrictions you might be covered if your affected, you need to look at the small print.

I looked at a few. Axa seems like a better more comprehensive one but would they pay out if your affected ? Only time will tell.

I'm thinking more of cover just for normal mishaps like injury whilst fishing and things specifically fishing related, would AXA cover you for that if you don't specify your going on a fishing holiday?. Confused as I've seen companies selling insurance just for sports holidays and they kind of imply that normal travel insurance may not cover you properly.

The axa policy does cover fishing as a listed sport.

I'm going in may
Just taken out my insurance with (staysure) £32 I'm 44 and no health issues.
I phoned them up and explained what I wanted and I'm covered
You need to get travel disruption cover that covers you for any illnesses including Corona also covers you
Just in case the French shut there borders.
I would advise speaking to someone and not doing an online jobbie

Yes, I have used Staysure for several years and they seem spot on for cover. Actually, I need it when I return to the UK as they no longer cover me for healthcare although I still pay taxes there...lol

Breaking news.
Italy has extended the lockdown to the whole country from tomorrow......
The only travel permitted is for work and family emergencies....
A shockingly over the top reaction that will probably cripple their society?
Outrageous?

Staysure terms and conditions say you need
1. The extension to the policy for travel disruption.
2. The FCO need to formally advice against travel to your location.
3. You need to have taken out the policy before the outbreak.

They should do that weeks ago... Number of infected is such that health system cant cope anymore.... That is the worst case scenario... At the moment doctors have to decide who will get a chance on respirators and have a chance to fight and who doesnt... People dont get needed care for other normaly not deadly diseases because there are no more capacities in hospitals etc... This is what you get when people are talking how this is just another flue and it is nothing to worry about and they still travel and spread the virus around... Yes it is not that bad when you have low number of cases but once you get numbers that break the health system you are ****ed... And that is what they have... It looks like non of the european countries is taking this serious..

Was it Basic or Comprehensive cover you went for with Staysure?

5 star Comprehensive cover
As I said I spoke to staysure direct and was told I'm covered in the event france shuts its borders
Here's hoping they won't

Just looked at Staysure myself.. in the T&C for travel disruption it states:
You'll be covered to cancel your holiday because of the coronavirus if:
- The FCO lists your destination as unsafe to travel to (against all or all but essential travel)
- You have the optional Travel Disruption Extension
- The outbreak in your destination wasn't publicly known when you bought your travel insurance.-
So reading that at high level.. if you buy insurance now, I'm thinking you won't be covered for France? since it's already publicly known that Coronavirus is there?
