What happens if ...

...as you contemplate life with fellow travellers you plan a trip to your next destination. Everything seems wonderful until there is suddenly a military coup, a spate of kidnappings or descent into civil war. Now it suddenly doesn't seem like such a good idea and you want some advice but you don't speak the local lingo and are not sure what to do...

What happens if ...

... a bomb has gone off in the centre of the capital city whilst you're traveling though the provinces. Should you head back there as planned or pack your bags and get out of the country as soon as possible? How to you assess the situation from the information you can get whilst on the road?

How is this different from emergency assistance?

Travel insurance is there for when something actually happens to you and our emergency assistance partners are there to get you out of difficulty and deal with medical emergencies. However, we prefer to try to assist you in staying out of trouble by keeping you informed while you are on the road and red-24 is a company that specialises in travel safety advice.

How do I use it?

Once you have bought a policy with us, simply update your current location and your next destination on your policy details page and we'll automatically keep you informed of any emerging security situation in these locations. Alternatively you can call, e-mail or fax a red-24 professional security expert at any time.

How do I get SMS?

Assuming you are travelling with a mobile / cell phone, you need to ensure that global roaming is enabled and that your phone number details (including international codes) are current and correct.
