The sum insured
Is it enough to do the job, and not so large that you are insuring a lifestyle you do not have?

Travel insurance is there for the parts of a journey you cannot control: a cancelled departure, a medical bill away from home, a lost bag, or a missed connection that strands a family overnight. Single-trip and annual plans are both available. We ask where you are going, how long you will be away, and whether anyone travelling has a condition that a standard medical section would exclude.
Buy travel cover when you book, not the night before you fly, if you want cancellation protection from the start. Tell us about cruises, work trips, and equipment you must take with you. A policy bought for a beach week will not quietly become cover for a mountaineering holiday. If you already hold health insurance, we will show where the two overlap so you are not paying twice for the same hospital bed.
Nothing on this page starts a policy. Cover begins only on the date printed on a schedule, after you have accepted it and any first contribution has been paid. If a sentence here disagrees with that schedule, the schedule wins.

Could you pay it next month without borrowing? A lower contribution is not a saving if the excess is fantasy.
Read them while nothing is wrong. Ask us to restate any sentence that still feels slippery.
Know the mailbox, the photographs you would take, and who in the household can write to us.
Our promise is to make complex insurance language readable, to answer claim questions in writing, and to show the price of cover before you commit.

BFDLife began as a promise to explain cover before anyone was asked to buy it. If you are comparing policies today, write down the people who rely on you, the loan you could not clear alone, and the excess you could pay next month without borrowing. Bring that page to hello@bfdwinery.com. We will answer with options, including the option to buy less.
