Travel disruptions

War & Hostilities Travel Cover Update, effective 28 February 2026

Our thoughts are with all those affected by the developing conflict in the Middle East.

As with most travel insurance policies, Bryte’s policies include a standard exclusion for losses arising directly or indirectly from war or war-like events.

 

What is covered

If unexpected hostilities break out after your trip starts, your cover remains active for 7 days. Emergency medical assistance still applies during this time.

Cover applies only if you’re not actively involved in the event.

 

What is not covered

Any claims related to war (e.g., cancellations, postponements, travel delays or public transport carrier disruption) are not covered. No cover applies if you’re actively serving in the military, police, or similar organisations.

For updates, please follow official travel advisories and your airline’s guidance.

 

General Exclusion:  Military, war and similar events

We do not pay for claims caused by or arising from:

• You are in active service, or on duty with, or undergoing training with any military or police force, or militia or paramilitary organisation.
• War, invasion, act of foreign enemy, hostilities, rebellion, revolution, insurrection or military or usurped power. However, if war, invasion, act of foreign enemy, hostility, rebellion, revolution, insurrection, military, usurped power or a similar event begins while you are on your insured journey, and these events were unexpected or could not reasonably have been known to you, you will remain insured for up to seven days from the start of the hostilities.
