Ticket and Trip Insurance

A new National Express product for added peace of mind!

Why buy insurance with us?

Travel insurance is an important part of any journey, particularly those in which you're taking luggage with you. If you're travelling with valuables, sports equipment or money, for example, your home insurance may not cover you for any loss or damage to your possessions while you're away from home.

Our partnership with XCover.com means you can now travel with added peace of mind for just £1.50 at checkout or at any time using My Account.

What is included

✔ Get a full refund with zero excess if you miss your coach or have to cancel due to illness or injury.

✔ Baggage Insurance for lost, damaged or stolen gadgets & other items.

✔ Contribution towards a hotel if you miss a connection of your journey due to strike, adverse weather conditions, mechanical failure or being involved in an accident.

✔ Simple claims process and instant payments.
