Understanding how to arrange your travel insurance policy so that it covers the individuals on your trip is no easy task. However, our friendly Salt insurance advisers are here to support you and your group on your journey so that you can make the most out of your time away.
Why do Church Groups & Teams benefit from Specialist Insurance?
Church Groups & Teams going abroad, whether that’s for missionary work, volunteering or charity work, will have their own unique set of risks that will need covering and requirements for a travel insurance policy.
Specialist insurance providers, like Salt, who have ample experience in arranging insurance for these groups will have a significant understanding of the risks associated with these trips. By arranging your insurance with a specialist broker, they can review the risks presented to them and help avoid you from paying for unnecessary cover and ensure the necessary ones are in place.

It is essential to answer your insurance adviser to the best of your knowledge so that if you need to claim on your policy the process is as smooth as possible.
Salt’s insurance policies come with 24-hour medical emergency and claims assistance. As well as this service, in the event of difficulties during your claim, Salt’s broker’s will be able to assist in communications with the insurer.
