Worried about earthquakes, floods, storms or volcanic ash: Add Natural Catastrophe Cover

With extreme weather events and natural disasters seemingly becoming more common across the world it's important to know that you are protected if one of them should affect your travel plans.

In the last few weeks alone we have seen an earthquake in Kefalonia, a volcanic eruption causing disruption to flights in Indonesia and the Foreign Office warning of tropical cyclones in Australia's Northern Territory.
