We are traveling to Cuba in July and I understand that Cuba will not accept travel insurance that is American based or where the underwriters are American. We have Barclays premiere travel insurance (covers worldwide) through the bank and the underwriters are Chartis Insurance UK Ltd. it is uk based and looks after the European region but forms part if an international insurance company owned by Americans.
Has anyone travelled under this insurance? Or can anyone give advice on travel insurance to Cuba. You would need to check with the insurer if they cover Cuba as worldwide doesn't automatically include Cuba. Any comparison site you can check for company's that cover CubaCuba will not accept travel insurance that is American based or where the underwriters are American..."Cuba doesn't care - nor does Aduana (Immigration/Customs) have the resources to confirm one way or the other - whether your insurance is valid, or not. All they care about is seeing a little piece of paper that appears to state that you have insurance. The only thing for you to worry about is to confirm yourself that your insurance company does indeed include Cuba. Lastly, the chances of you being asked for proof of insurance is almost zero, but most people would agree that unless you have very deep pockets then insurance is a good thing for international travel. I have AXA Worldwide cover through Citibank in London, UK.
I never had to use it (thanks my health) though. There was no issie when receiving a tourist card when I showed this insurance at the consulate. Neither do they care in Cuba. I double-checked with AXA that Cuba is covered and it was the case- just confirming above posts.Cuba will not accept travel insurance that is American based or where the underwriters are American..." This is partly true but the insurance company won't voluntarily reveal this. My friend found out her Canada BCAA insurance was not recognized at the hospital and she had to pay herself for treatment, Chartis are now know as AIG (again), I work for AIG (although not in that department) and am pretty certain that we cannot provide cover for Cuba as we are an American company and subject to the sanctions. We also own Direct Travel and I know for sure they do not provide any cover for trips to Cuba (having been to Cuba twice and wanting to use the staff discount!) so I'm sure it will be the same for our own branded policy.
I would recommend you call the contact number on your policy and ask for clarification before you leave as it may be necessary for you to find alternative cover. -:- Message from TripAdvisor staff -:-This topic has been closed to new posts due to inactivity.
