Travel insurance
Stop a medical emergency becoming a financial disaster by making sure you have travel insurance
No pre-checkup, and no age limit
Travelling abroad without insurance can prove costly should something go wrong. According to the Association of British Insurers (ABI), the average cost of a claim for medical expenses was £1,022 in 2014.
When you travel, make sure that you and your family's health is in safe hands by taking out travel insurance.

The role of Towergate Health & Protection and Forces Pension Society
Towergate Health & Protection is an independently authorised broker, who acts on your behalf.
To support their members, FPS works with Towergate Health & Protection to enable Towergate Health & Protection to market the scheme, for which FPS receives a fee.
Towergate Health & Protection negotiates the overall renewal terms AXA PPP healthcare offers on this plan, with FPS agreeing the recommendation. FPS has no other role within the administration of this arrangement.
For clarity, there is no commercial agreement between AXA PPP healthcare and FPS, who do not represent you or negotiate any aspect of your annual travel / healthcare insurance with AXA PPP healthcare.
This policy is an individual contract of insurance between you and AXA PPP healthcare. The subscriptions under this arrangement are set each year by AXA PPP healthcare to take in to account the claims made by all the members of FPS and their family members covered under the product.
