Boots Travel Insurance will not invoke any exclusion relating to "closure of airspace by the CAA" and all the conditions and exclusions in the customer's policy will remain unchanged.

The same stipulations apply for those are who are left stranded abroad. Boots Travel Insurance revealed that travellers left stranded may be reimbursed a travel delay benefit which is designed to contribute towards additional costs incurred such as accommodation, depending on the length of the delay.

Boots Travel Insurance volcanic ash assures travellers visiting locations both in Europe and worldwide that they are covered in the result of any delay. However, this is only if the flight has been delayed for 12 hours or more.

Boots offers three separate cover areas; bronze, silver and gold. The bronze cover offers GBP20 for the first 12 hours and GBP10 for each extra 12 hour period the customer is delayed while the silver cover offers reimbursement of GBP30 for the first 12 hours and GBP25 for each additional 12 hour period of delay.
