• The medical benefits available and the limit of the Sum Insured for each
• Terms of claims. The terms can often be tricky and very rare, meaning that despite the benefit, you’ll never really be able to claim it.

The UK is called ‘The Exquisite Island Nation!’

Bustling cities, enchanting castles, enthralling coastlines, lush countryside, literary landmarks, and a global hub of art and culture—the UK has always been a famous tourist spot, owing to its rich history, beautiful terrain, and, of course, its iconic literary background and educational institutions.

Moreover, the number of tourists travelling to the UK is only increasing this year due to the popular World Cup, which is all set to begin soon!

The best time to visit the UK is during the spring (late March - June) or autumn (September - November), and the weather is also pleasant during this time as it will probably not rain much (so there will be no gloomy days!).

However, the summer months aren’t too bad either, except you’ll probably be surrounded by tons of tourists from all over!

For those who’d like to experience the cold, the winter months can be a decent time to visit too, with the Winter Wonderland and other winter activities in full swing too.

• London is the capital and a popular tourist destination, so petty crimes can be common. Beware of pickpockets and tourist scams in the UK, such as ATM scams (be alert while you withdraw money) and ticket scams (don’t get lured into buying tickets from random people). Also, avoid leaving any belongings in your car if you’re using one.
• Ensure you have a valid international driving license if you’re looking to go on a road trip during your stay.
• If you’re planning to visit during the winter and drive, be very cautious on slippery roads. In case of an unforeseen situation leading to loss or damage to the car, our travel insurance for the UK will cover the expenses under Personal Liability and Bail Bond.
• Remember that cars drive on the left side in the UK. Crossroads cautiously and only use designated crossings.
• Every July, there is a marching parade in Northern Ireland, which can sometimes turn violent due to political situations. Make sure you plan your dates there accordingly.

You can also download the UK-based app Citizen AID during your stay, an app that includes advice and immediate actions in case of any incidents and emergencies there.
