Travel Insurance

We recommend that everyone travelling abroad with Newmarket Holidays has travel insurance. This must be either the Newmarket Travel Insurance policy underwritten by AWP P&C SA and administered in the UK by Allianz Global Assistance, or an alternative travel insurance policy. The Newmarket travel insurance policy is only available to UK, Channel Islands or Isle of Man residents and English law will apply. Your insurance premium is based upon your age at the time you make your holiday booking.
