Need to know: Nationwide customers could save on travel insurance
- Nationwide customers could save money on travel insurance by checking if they already have cover through their bank account.
- Travel expert Rebecca Wilcox appeared on BBC Morning Live to highlight that many people overlook existing travel insurance benefits. She described not having travel insurance as “astonishing” but revealed some may already be covered.
- Wilcox asked: “Are you already covered? You could have it with your bank account.”
- Nationwide’s FlexPlus current account costs £18 per month and includes Worldwide Family Travel Insurance from Aviva. The account provides comprehensive coverage including emergency medical expenses up to £10 million and missed departure cover up to £1,000.
- The FlexPlus account also covers trip cancellation up to £5,000 and alternative travel arrangements for disruptions.
- Other banks including Monzo, Virgin Money and Halifax also offer travel insurance with their packaged accounts.
- Customers are advised to check their existing bank account benefits before purchasing separate travel insurance to avoid paying twice.
