If you’re planning to travel to Peru
If you have a policy which lists Peru as a destination, your policy can continue to offer cover in line with the policy terms and conditions. Note that the policy offers cover based on specific, listed insured events; also, you must be aware that policy exclusions still exist, including:
- for choosing to travel to or remain in a destination where there are travel warnings in place.
- All other terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions continue to apply.
Before planning travel, please check the government advice applicable to your policy and monitor media coverage.
