Under the terms of their offer Direct line are willing to provide up to £500 covers for lost or stolen pre-paid tickets to the match along with lost passport cover. Our policies also offer legal assistance and third party liability cover in line with the standard terms and conditions of our travel insurance policies.
Chris Price, Head of Travel Insurance at Direct Line, says, "While it is easy to get excited about the first ever all-English final, fans should prepare adequately for an overseas trip. They should ensure they have the right travel insurance in place to cover them for incidents which may occur while away including medical emergencies, loss of passports, legal assistance and trip cancellation which can be very costly and inconvenient at the best of times.
‘’With air ambulance evacuations costing up to £25,000, a serious accident or injury can result in financial disaster for fans without insurance. A stay in a private hospital in Moscow which offers reasonable levels of treatment can cost up to £1,500 a day, plus any specialist expenses.’’ Mr Price added.
