How We Help

We're powered by people just like you, living in communities all over Ireland. While you're abroad, the Medical Emergency Assistance line is available 24 hours a day so you can get the help you need, when you need it.

Get the peace of mind of good protection. If things go wrong while you're abroad, you can rest easy knowing you will get the assistance, cover and care you need.

We know that everybody wants to get great value travel insurance, so we offer competitive prices if you have private health insurance (1) and a 20% online discount (2) to help manage the cost of cover.

We provide cover with three different policy choices, as well as optional add-ons like winter sports (3) cover to help you tailor your plan to suit your travel and your destination.
(1) If you have Private Health Insurance (PHI) ie VHI, Irish Life Health or Laya Healthcare, you may already be covered for an element of overseas medical treatment. We will top up the medical expenses cover as outlined in the policy document.
(2) 20% discount based on the standard price you would receive over the phone. Applies to online annual & single policies. Receive a discounted premium if you have private medical Insurance with overseas cover.
(3) These optional extras are subject to an additional charge; it is not necessary to purchase these upgrades in order to purchase the policy.

We value your feedback
I joined An Post Insurance last year and it was the best decision. Their customer service is excellent & so friendly. They were extremely helpful and most of all the price I received from them could not be beaten. I would highly recommend using this company. Anna 05.02.2021

Yes. To protect your own interests you should purchase travel insurance cover at the same time you purchase your travel package. You can buy it at a later date but it will not cover events which have already occurred.
If you are buying a single trip policy, your cancellation cover begins instantly. If you are buying an annual policy, you can choose when your cover begins (up to 180 days in the future). If you have already booked a holiday, and have no other travel insurance arrangements in place, you should ensure your policy starts immediately, so you are covered for cancellation.

So a weekend break involving two nights in a hotel would be covered, but a day out and overnight stop wouldn't. If you have bought a single trip policy you will not be covered for holidays in the Republic of Ireland. Whichever policy you buy, some benefits are not payable for holidays in the Republic of Ireland. See the Policy Wording for full details.
