Insurance
You are protected by our insurance from the moment you step foot on the plane, right through to when you return home.
Full medical cover is provided, including repatriation and any pre-disclosed medical conditions. It is therefore vitally important that we are made aware of any condition that may affect your wellbeing or safety whilst on expedition. You can do this on the Medical Declaration Form in Basecamp.
What's NOT included
Pre-departure Cancellation
Pre-departure cancellation is not included in Outlook's insurance. We would therefore strongly recommend that you consider taking out a cancellation policy independently.
Look for cover that would include withdrawal from the expedition for reasons such as personal illness, injury or family illness.
Loss of Passport
Your most valuable possession on expedition is your passport. If you lose it, costs aren't just limited to the replacement of your travel documents. You could incur costs for travel to and from the embassy (for you and a Leader), accommodation, flights to catch up with the team or even flights home. It can get very costly!
We strongly advise that you take out personal belongings insurance that covers the loss of passport whilst abroad and any associated costs.
Whilst we recommend that you leave expensive belongings, especially gadgets, at home - if you decide to bring along a camera or similar with you - it won't be covered on Outlook's insurance. Please check your home insurance and if it's not covered, look into alternative insurance for your personal belongings.
