Travel Insurance

Sadly, despite the best efforts, things like lost baggage and cancelled flights are a fact of travelling in today's world. Personal circumstances change too and things such as bad health can spoil even the best-laid holiday plans.

Aloha Holidays requires all customers to have adequate travel insurance in place at the time of booking their Hawaiian holiday. This offers you protection for covered circumstances from the time you make your initial payment (typically this first payment covers the cost of your flights and your booking deposit).

You may already have travel insurance in place; perhaps you are covered by your existing health insurer or your credit card company? If so, on our Booking Form we ask you to give us details of your policy and the emergency contact number which we can keep safely on file for you.

It is worth checking your existing policy to make sure the value of your Hawaiian vacation is completely covered. Some travel insurance policies only offer cover up to a maximum value, often it is around €3,000 per person. Your Hawaiian trip, particularly if it is your honeymoon, could be valued at more. In this case you should get on to your supplier to top up your insurance for the duration of your Hawaiian holiday or purchase an additional policy when you make your booking.

Similarly, if you plan on trying any sporting or other activities during your stay you should ensure your policy covers you. Some policies specifically exclude some activities. You should be familiar with the conditions of your insurance before deciding to participate in any activities and be aware that excluded activities are undertaken enitrely at your own risk.

Aloha Holidays can supply travel insurance if required. This can be specifically for your Hawaiian holiday or honeymoon or it can cover you for all your travel over a full year. The level of cover required will depend on the value of your trip and the length of time you will be away.

We can also offer a policy specifically for couples getting married in Hawaii as well as for those who plan to enjoy activities such as deep sea fishing. Please ask us for further details.
