Travellers can now buy their travel insurance off-the-shelf from Tesco stores on the way to the airport.

The Tesco Personal Finance Instant Travel Insurance can take immediate effect which is why it can be bought last minute.

Cover can include European or worldwide cover, single trip or annual policy cover.

To purchase cover customers need to provide their Tesco ClubCard and their date of travel.

Head of Insurance Paul Baxter said: "Our trial proved to be such a success with our customers that we are now looking to bring Instant Travel Insurance to more of our stores.

"It's the ultimate in convenience shopping - holiday goers can pick up their travel insurance at the same time as their sun cream and sunglasses," he added.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
