TRAVEL INSURANCE YOU CAN TRUST
Established experience. Trusted insurance backing.
OGSure is a trading style of Optimum Global, an established insurance business with more than 10 years of experience.
Optimum Global is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, and our travel insurance is supported by a robust insurance structure that includes reinsurance through Lloyd’s of London.
Founded in 1688, Lloyd’s is one of the world’s oldest and most respected insurance markets, known for its specialist expertise and financial strength. It currently holds AA− ratings from both S&P Global and Fitch Ratings.
So, when you arrange cover with OGSure, you can do so with confidence, knowing there is genuine insurance experience behind the brand and internationally recognised financial strength supporting your policy.
Do Cyprus residents still need travel insurance with an EHIC?
A European Health Insurance Card can provide access to medically necessary, state-provided healthcare during a temporary stay in participating European countries.
However, an EHIC is not a replacement for travel insurance. It does not cover private healthcare, medical repatriation, lost or stolen belongings or many other travel-related expenses.
Treatment is also provided according to the rules of the country you are visiting and may not always be free.
Travel insurance can provide broader protection for insured events such as cancellation, baggage problems, delays, emergency medical costs and repatriation.
Where you are eligible for an EHIC, it is sensible to carry it alongside your travel insurance when travelling within the area where it is accepted.
HELP WHEN IT MATTERS
Support if something serious happens abroad.
OGSure’s 24/7 Emergency Assistance Centre is available to support you with serious medical situations abroad.

OGSure offers both single-trip and annual multi-trip travel insurance, subject to eligibility.

Optional extras
Choose from optional extras to tailor your cover around the way you travel, from longer trips to selected adventure activities and higher cancellation protection.
Winter sports cover
Add cover for eligible skiing and winter sports, including equipment, ski passes and selected piste disruption.
Adventure sports

What OGSure does not cover
OGSure is travel insurance for sudden and unforeseen events. It is not designed to cover everything that might go wrong.
For example, cover may not apply for:
- claims linked directly or indirectly to pre-existing medical conditions
- trips longer than the duration shown on your policy
- events that were known or foreseeable before you bought cover
- activities or sports that are not covered by the policy
- travel to excluded destinations
- costs you cannot evidence with the required documents
- situations excluded by the policy wording
This is only a summary. Always read the policy wording before you buy.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy OGSure travel insurance if I live in Cyprus?
OGSure can provide quotes to eligible residents of the Republic of Cyprus.
Availability depends on your country of residence, age, destination, travel dates, trip duration and the applicable policy terms.
Is this insurance for Cyprus residents or people visiting Cyprus?
This page is intended for people who normally live in the Republic of Cyprus and are travelling elsewhere.
Visitors planning a holiday to Cyprus should choose their actual home country as their country of residence when obtaining travel insurance.
Do I need to be a Cypriot citizen?
Not necessarily.
Your eligibility is primarily based on your usual country of residence rather than citizenship.
Cyprus should generally be the country where you normally live or work for more than three consecutive months and the country to which you would be repatriated.
What does anywhere-to-anywhere travel insurance mean?
It means your journey does not have to start in the UK.
Eligible Cyprus residents can arrange cover from Cyprus for travel to most destinations worldwide, subject to the geographical area and policy terms.
Can I use OGSure for travel within Europe?
Eligible Cyprus residents can request cover for trips to European destinations.
Enter every country you intend to visit so that the appropriate geographical area can be applied.
Is an EHIC enough for travel within Europe?
An EHIC can provide access to medically necessary state healthcare in participating countries, but it is not a substitute for travel insurance.
It does not cover risks such as private treatment, repatriation, cancellation, delays or lost belongings.
Can I travel to the UK with OGSure?
The UK may be covered when it falls within the geographical area selected for your policy.
Enter the United Kingdom as a destination when requesting your quote.
Can I travel to the USA or Canada?
Cover may be available under the appropriate worldwide geographical area.
You must include the USA or Canada when entering your destinations because North American travel can affect the region and premium applied.
Can I cover a cruise departing from Cyprus?

Enter every country or region included in your itinerary and check that the selected geographical area covers the complete cruise route.

The evacuation must meet the circumstances described in the policy wording.
Can I buy annual travel insurance?
Annual multi-trip cover may be available depending on your age, country of residence and travel plans.
The quote journey will show whether single-trip or annual cover is available to you.
Are pre-existing medical conditions covered?
Claims arising directly or indirectly from pre-existing medical conditions are not covered.
You may still purchase a policy, but you should understand how this exclusion could affect you before buying.
What happens if I have a medical emergency abroad?
The OGSure Emergency Assistance Centre is available 24 hours a day.
You or someone acting on your behalf must contact the assistance team as soon as possible if you require inpatient treatment, hospitalisation, medical evacuation or repatriation.

OGSure has separate GBP and USD policy wordings with different benefit limits and excesses. Always read the wording that matches your quotation and policy certificate.
