Barclays Travel Insurance: Want the Best Pack?

Will Barclays travel insurance be the premier experience you are looking for? You can make up your mind after reading this handy overview. We’ll share valuable information about their packs , how to claim , useful contact numbers and reviews . Come and embarque on a journey with us and explore more...

Barclays Travel Insurance Packs

Barclays travel insurance works slightly differently to other providers. This is going to sound a little crazy in the world of travel insurance, but you won’t see Barclays pop up on any comparison sites. If you’re asking yourself how on earth you buy Barclays travel insurance then, we’re about to let you know.

The most critical thing to know is that Barclays travel insurance is only available to select customers. There are two options you can go for: Travel Pack and Travel Pack Plus . They are called packs because they include a range of benefits (yippee). We’ll share all the juicy details in a minute. First, how do you know if you qualify to add the insurance? You can add a pack if you have one of the following accounts:

• Barclays Bank Account
• Barclays Basic Current Account
• Student Additions
• Higher Education Account
• Premier Current Account
• If you have another account with Barclays give them a call and they will tell you if you can add a pack

As we mentioned, there are two packs to choose from and they are full of surprises (all good we might add!). To give you a really clear picture of what the packs include we will highlight them below, side by side. Both packs are for annual multi-trip travel insurance and include up to 31 days’ travel at a time.

Information correct as of August 2019.

*Cover is for you and your partner living at the same address. Your children are also covered when travelling with you if they are under 18, or under 23 if they are in full-time education and living with you outside of term time. Everyone insured must be a UK resident."

Barclays travel insurance will offer you an excellent level of cover with very low excesses! We’ve reviewed the policy and for both the Travel Pack and Travel Pack Plus here are some of the benefits you could get:

Prices correct as of August 2019. Always check the policy wording for the most up to date prices.

*In the event of a catastrophe you will be covered for extra accommodation and/or transport costs if you are forced to move from your accommodation. You must have booked your accommodation directly with the provider, and events covered include avalanche, earthquake, explosion, fire, flood, landslide, storm or tsunami.

How does this compare to other insurers on the market? Cover limits seem to be fairly generous, but you can find higher limits on many of these benefits. However, experts rate Barclays travel insurance highly and customers sing its praise in comparison to other providers (see bottom of page for reviews). The most important person in this story is you, so you need to feel comfortable whichever company you choose.

Is the Barclays Premier Travel Insurance Pack Still Available?

The Barclays Premier Travel Insurance Pack is no longer available to new customers. Don’t worry though, we compared the benefits to the packs currently available and you’ll be getting an even greater level of cover. Barclays recently increased the level of cover across multiple sections too. Nothing is for free though, and with the increased cover, Barclays also raised the price of their packs too.

In the next section you’ll find out exactly how much you would have to pay and we’ll do a price comparison against the industry average to see just how Barclays fares.

Barclays Travel Insurance Prices

There are a lot of factors to bear in mind when choosing travel insurance. While you don’t want to break the bank, travel insurance is one of those things you tend to get what you pay for.

In order to compare Barclays travel insurance prices, we have done a comparison for an annual policy including Europe for a 35-year-old woman with no pre-existing medical conditions.

As you can see, Barclays is much pricier than your average travel insurance provider. Since they operate the pack system though, an exact comparison is difficult. Don’t forget that Barclays includes RAC breakdown cover and even more benefits with Travel Pack Plus.

We did some research and RAC breakdown cover starts at £4.50 a month (£54 per year). That price is if you’re lucky enough to have a brand spanking new car and goes up from there! Depending how much you pay, you could save a bundle with this deal.

If you are sick of overpriced airport food and plastic seats you may want to treat yourself to an airport lounge next trip. This will set you back £15 - £20 on average, but if it’s included in your pack, it would be rude not to accept! See you later toasted sandwiches and hello hors d'oeuvres!

It’s important to note that if you purchase a pack you are locked in for at least six months. As of August 2019, the actual price per month is:

• Travel Pack = £12.50
• Travel Pack Plus = £18.00

Overall, do we think Barclays travel insurance is good value? If you don’t have a car, you shouldn’t even consider it because you will be paying for something you don’t need. Barclays does have a comprehensive level of travel insurance cover but you can find the same cover elsewhere (minus the breakdown cover). If you have a car and a family, plus love to travel a lot, then it could be an interesting option for you.

Faced with so many decisions, you need a holiday soon! Don’t worry, we are here to help. We’ve reviewed a lot of the top insurers. If you don’t want the breakdown cover, but want a more flexible provider with competitive prices, you could check out our guide on Admiral travel insurance .

After the 14 day period, you must hold the pack for a minimum of six months. After six months, you can then cancel at any time.
