Travel Insurance with Columbus Direct
Global Travel Insurance - Obtain a Quote

If you’re planning a trip, it makes sense to take out travel insurance before you travel. It can take care of unforeseen costs, whether it’s an accident or illness abroad, or getting separated from your bags or passport.

We’ve decided to work with Columbus Direct as we think their rates are very competitive and they provide cover for residents in over 45 countries.

Cover is available for single trips of between 2 and 365 days as well as for a selection of annual multi trips for those who travel throughout the year. Taking out an annual multi trip policy can save you money and give you flexibility, letting you travel as many times as you like for up to two months at a time.

While we've taken every effort to select the best fit, we cannot guarantee that every provider will meet your price and service expectations. Delivery of all services is the provider's responsibility and not i-escape's.

i-escape receives commissions for bookings and purchases from World Nomads but we regularly evaluate our providers and are happy to hear about your experience with them. While we take no responsibility for the providers' services, your feedback will assist us in our ongoing assessment of their services.
