Hi everyone

I have read on here that many of you use Campbell Irvine when travelling to Sharm. I'm currently looking for travel insurance for Sharm and I was going to use Campbell Irvine until I read something on their website that has worried me. On their website, there is a section about travelling against British FCO advice, and it states that the underwriters reserve the right to decline a claim if you have travelled against FCO advice. For those of you that have had travel insurance with Campbell Irvine, was there a section on your policy that said that you were definitely covered for Sharm?

Thanks in advance!

I use their Insurance and it is a disclaimer which they all have to provide.

What I can say is your on a fruitless exercise by applying online.

You need to call them personally to get the right quote.

Depending on what ailments you have already will depend on if they have an underwriter to provide the insurance.

There are a few of us that use their Insurance and in my case i use it whilst out here on a longet basis.

Yes mine does cover Sharm Airport bit you still may find certain restrictions against acts of terrorism though.

You can not apply through their website for Insurance to Sharm it has to be completed by a telephone call.

Thanks for replying. I called CI this morning and am no further forward. I tried to explain to the lady on the other end that I needed travel insurance for Sharm and because it's currently against FCO advice to travel there I was told to call them directly to get a specialist policy. She however was adamant that I could not do this over the phone and told me to fill out the "Specialist Travel Insurance" application form on their website and email it to them. Does this sound right to you?

There's not really any right way or wrong way here. If the company says to fill in the online form, then just fill it in and see what quote you get.

Fill out the form...and wait for a response.

I have emailed them the form so I will wait and see what they say. However, I have now considered getting insurance with Aviva. After reading through all of their policy documents and talking to someone over the phone it seems that they will cover me for Sharm and its airport, and at a reasonable price too!

It's just the airport that's on the FCO's 'essential travel only' list, not Sharm itself.

Sorry I have only just caught up with thread on Egyptian go slow time.

Campbell Irvine I have never filled a form in online at all.

Always discuss it over a phone call.

Try calling these people..

Westfield Dive Insurance.

Yes they insure divers plus non divers.

01483 237827

No problem Jared. Since emailing the application form to CI they have actually been very helpful. They have told me that they can definitely provide travel insurance for Sharm because their underwriters are Lloyds of London and they do not include the exclusions most other companies do for travel to such places. I am now just waiting on terms from the underwriters being emailed to me. If that doesn't work out I will definitely try the dive one. Thanks!

New Travel Insurance Policy With Cover For Covid-19

Your safety is one of our main concerns at Charity Challenge, which is why ensuring you take out extensive travel insurance is an essential part of every booking.

We are therefore delighted to announce that our travel insurance partners at Campbell Irvine have launched a new updated Campbell Irvine Direct travel insurance policy which includes Medical Expenses and Cancellation cover for Covid-19. This is a vital piece of cover for any intended overseas trip, so please do read this information carefully.

New Travel Insurance Policy

• Medical emergency treatment overseas and medical repatriation due to an insured client being diagnosed with Covid-19.
• Cancellation cover to reimburse your clients for any irrecoverable payments and charges made for travel and accommodation if they have to cancel their trip due to a doctor diagnosing either them, a close relative or their insured travelling companion with Covid-19 and as a result being advised not to travel. 
• Cancellation due to either the client or their insured travelling companion’s direct exposure to a close relative being diagnosed with Covid-19 resulting in an order via the NHS Test and Trace programme for your client to be medically quarantined and not being able to travel.
• Cancellation or Curtailment cover due to denied boarding of public transport if displaying symptoms of Covid-19.

Additional T&C’s Applicable To The New Cover

There is no cover in respect of any travel to a region or country against British FCO advice. Should a client wish to travel to any area contrary to FCO advice then they will not be eligible to purchase this insurance and specialist cover should be arranged with Campbell Irvine.

There is no cover provided if due a second wave there is another ‘lockdown’, either locally, countrywide or in the destination country resulting in your client being unable to travel either from their home or to the booked destination. Likewise if the FCO subsequently advise against travel to destination there would be no cancellation cover under a travel insurance policy for such an event.    

New European only Annual Multi Trip Travel Insurance

Campbell Irvine are also delighted to announce the launch of a new European only Annual Multi Trip travel insurance policy providing cover for unlimited number of trips within the UK and Europe with up to 31 days cover any one trip. Winter sports cover is available subject to payment of an additional premium.

Do I Need Travel Insurance?

Your safety when travelling with Charity Challenge is our main concern which is why it is a booking condition that you have a suitable travel insurance policy that will cover the adventurous nature of your challenge. We have chosen to partner with specialist travel insurance providers Campbell Irvine, who offer cover for an extensive number of adventurous activities. Cover is available directly from Campbell Irvine for most European residents and includes cover for emergency medical and repatriation and for your cancellation or curtailment of the challenge. Cancellation cover is very important as you need to consider protecting the charity you are raising funds for, as they may be contributing hundreds or thousands of pounds towards your challenge costs. 

You can view further details and buy the policy here .

We appreciate that whilst you may already have your own travel insurance in place, it is not administratively possible for us to vet each and every one of your policies.  It is therefore the responsibility of each client to check that the policy cover they have in place adequately meets their requirements. Please note you can have more than one policy covering the same trip as many of our clients do. If you are flying directly to join the group in-country, please ensure the period of insurance covers the full duration of your trip for the travelling time to and from your home.

What happens if I make a booking with Charity Challenge and the trip can’t run due to Covid-19?

Please rest assured that if Charity Challenge cannot operate a challenge in the host country due to Covid-19, we will offer you a number of options including:

• the chance to postpone your challenge to a later departure (this year or next)
• to join any Charity Challenge trip in another country (this year or next)
• to receive a refund of monies paid for the challenge

Please note there are no admin fees to either postpone or change destinations, should we be forced to cancel your existing challenge due to Covid-19.
