Travel insurance companies must start clarifying the situation particularly now the reciprocal health agreement between the UK and Jersey - and all the Channel Islands - has ended, and the UK reciprocal health agreement with the Isle of Man is set to end on 31 March 2010. Thanks for highlighting this problem. I'd love to hear from anyone who has experienced problems with travel insurance companies and their definitions of what countries are and are not part of the UK.

Thanks for highlighting this problem.

I’d love to hear from anyone who has experienced problems with travel insurance companies and their definitions of what countries are and are not part of the UK.

My Travel Insurance policy with Insureandgo states that I am only covered for trips "within the UK", if I have at least 2 nights accommodation booked. I've tried pointing out the Jersey is part of the British Isles, but NOT part of the UK, but they insist that it IS part of the UK, according to THEIR definition. I suspect many other Insurance companies will pull the same trick.
