Our opinion on Debenhams travel insurance

Debenhams' Travel insurance policies are arranged and administered by ROCK Insurance Group which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Their Single and Annual Multi Trip Policies are available across 3 levels of standard: Standard, Superior and Luxury. In addition to the main policies, you can opt of an additional cover such as Winter Sports and Cruise covers. Their maximum duration per trip is higher than average with the Single Trip Policy being available for up to 365 days and the Annual Multi Trip available for up to 90 days per trip.

However, due to the low customer satisfaction rate on Trust Pilot, we would recommend you consider other travel insurance companies with higher customer satisfaction rates such as Sainsbury's, Alpha Travel Insurance and World First.
