'All three of AllClear's policies made the cut'

Dean Sobers, Which? travel insurance expert, says:

The three policies in AllClear's range - Gold, Gold Plus, and Platinum - each passed our Best Buy test this year.

With 70%, its Platinum option was in the top fifth of policies we reviewed.

It places no overall limit on its cover for emergency medical expenses, although dental emergencies are capped at £1,000. This is nearly double the average of £518. 

If your travelling companion or host were to develop a serious illness/injury or die, forcing you to cancel your trip, the policy offers a £10,000 cancellation limit. 

However, this cancellation limit would not extend to cover you if your chosen holiday supplier went bankrupt (although there is bankruptcy cover if the airline goes insolvent).

No maximum age

AllClear's annual policies are among 14% of those we rated without age limits for new customers. 

Read our guide on travel insurance for older customers to see which other providers don't have age limits and how well their policies score.

Gold Plus and Gold policies

AllClear's Gold Plus policy is also a Best Buy, with a score of 68%.

It has lower but still good levels of cover (for example £5,000 cancellation cover) – but unlike with Platinum, you'll need to pay excesses of £75 when claiming.

Gold, meanwhile, received a score of 65% - just in the upper 40% of policies we rated. The lower score reflects lower cover limits in certain areas, such as £350 for emergency dental treatment and £2,000 personal belongings cover (compared to Platinum's £5,000), and an excess of £250.

However, it still fared well in over two-thirds of areas we examined and was a Best Buy, so is still well worth considering if it's a good fit for your needs and budget.

Is AllClear good if you have a medical condition?

AllClear is a listed medical-specialist insurer, meaning it may be able to cover you where others can't if your medical history is proving a barrier.

You'll need to declare your conditions to ensure they're covered. AllClear works with a medical screening company called Verisk to evaluate your medical risk.

If you're having difficulty finding the cover you need, check our guide on travel insurance if you have a medical condition.

How good is AllClear at handling claims?

AllClear uses a company called Gallagher Bassett to handle its claims.

  • According to the most recently published data, AllClear accepted 90-95% of claims on annual European policies in 2024 – better than the industry average of 86.3%. 
  • It accepted 85-90% of annual worldwide claims – just above the industry average of 84.5%
  • It accepted 85-90% of single trip claims – higher than the average rate of 80%. 

AllClear travel insurance: how can I claim?

For medical emergencies abroad, call +44 (0)203 467 4122. 

To make other types of claim, call 0800 011 3135 or claim online

Insurers will usually expect you to try recouping lost costs (such as deposits) elsewhere before claiming with them – for example checking with the travel provider if you're entitled to a refund or can move a cancelled trip. However, you can still call the insurer to let it know if there's a chance you will need to claim.  

You'll need to provide your policy number when you call.

How does AllClear compare with other providers?

The AllClear Platinum policy has a score of 70% and is a Best Buy. The policies above it are Platinum from Admiral, Gold from Leisure Guard and Gold from Travel Insurance Saver – which have scores of 71% (but aren't Best Buys). 

Immediately below it is First from Insure & Escape, NatWest's Black packaged account, Halifax's Ultimate Reward packaged account, Flexi Silver from Leisure Guard, Platinum from Cover For You and Gold from AXA. These score 69%

Should you buy AllClear travel insurance?

Yes, if the price is right: All of AllClear's policies are Best Buy options.
