FlexPlus travel insurance with UKI
If you had a FlexPlus current account before 1 May 2024 and a travel insurance upgrade that hasn't yet expired, you’ll still be covered by U K Insurance Limited (UKI). This will continue until your upgrade expires. You can find out more about your policy and how to claim here.

Who is covered?
All FlexPlus current account holders, their partners and dependent children, so long as the person is aged under 70. For anyone aged 70 or over, you'll need to buy an age upgrade.
You're covered whether you travel together or independently.
Your partner is the person the account holder lives with at their home address. You should be in a relationship, whether married or living together, regardless of gender.
A dependent child is any child, including a legally adopted, fostered or stepchild, of the account holder. To be covered, they must be all of the following:
- under 18, or under 24 if in full-time education, on the start date of the trip
- living with the account holder or their other parent, and
- not married or in a civil partnership.
Can you purchase more upgrades?
Before you travel, it’s important to make sure you have the upgrades you need to cover your trip.
You can purchase upgrades from UKI, up until your cover with them ends and we move you to Aviva.
If you buy an upgrade with UKI, it will expire when your cover with them ends. The cost will be pro rated, meaning you won’t pay the full cost of an annual upgrade.
Examples
To help show how this works, here are a couple of examples.
You bought an upgrade to cover someone aged over 70 in October 2023. This upgrade is due to expire in October 2024.
In this scenario, you’ll remain covered by UKI until October 2024. And you’ll benefit from your age upgrade until October 2024.
You bought an annual trip extension upgrade in August 2023 for a long holiday. As this upgrade hasn’t yet expired, you’re still covered by UKI.
Now, you’re planning a summer cruise. So you buy an upgrade from UKI to cover cruises.
In this scenario, you’ll be covered by UKI until August 2024, when your trip extension upgrade expires. You’ll pay a pro rated cost for the cruise upgrade and it will also expire in August 2024.
In August, you’ll move to Aviva and you can arrange upgrades with them separately.
Purchase upgrades
You can purchase upgrades from the UKI online portal.
Can you get confirmation of cover?
Some travel providers need proof of your travel insurance cover.
You can download this from the UKI online portal.
To register on the portal, you'll need your current account details. For joint account holders, you'll need to register separately and use the address and personal data on your current account.
If you would prefer to call, you can find a number on the portal.
What happens if a family member moves out?
If a family member stops living at your address, they won't be covered any more. If they are only away temporarily, for example at university, they are still covered.
What happens if you leave the UK?
If you move away from the UK, you'll still have to pay the £18 fee each month. However, you won't qualify for any of the insurances that come with the account.
