International Insurance FAQs
Do I still need UK insurance if I move abroad?
It depends on what you're insuring and for how long. UK-based policies such as car or home insurance are usually tied to UK risk and residency, so moving abroad long-term typically means arranging local or international cover instead, rather than relying on a UK policy.
What is expat insurance?
Expat insurance refers to cover designed for people living outside their home country for an extended period, commonly including international health insurance, but also extending to property, income protection and other risks specific to living abroad.
How is international travel insurance different from standard travel insurance?
International travel insurance often covers longer trips, multiple countries, and sometimes multi-trip or annual cover for frequent travellers, whereas standard single-trip travel insurance is usually built around one specific journey and return date.
Can UK businesses get insurance for overseas operations?
Yes. International business insurance is designed for UK companies with overseas operations, staff, or assets, and can cover risks such as local liability, property, and business interruption in the relevant countries.
