We have about 8 months left on our travel insurance can we claim a refund or alternatively have our insurance extended for the time we been unable to use it?

Dangerous question I know but have you tried asking your travel insurer?

I Phoned my insurance company And asked if I could get a refund as I had quite a few months left and my husband Will have to shield because of medical reasons for quite a long time. I have been told I can except a voucher for some of the costs and the voucher will allow me to spend it on a new policy. I explained that because of the situation I doubt if you’ll be able to travel until there is a vaccine available and the cost of a new policy will be over £300 and still won’t cover us because of his medical condition. The new policy will be for the usual 12 months but will explain expended The new policy will be for the usual 12 months but would extended to 15 months. unfortunately this situation not knowing what’s going to happen it isn’t very helpful are they allowed to do this? I’ve had the policy booklet and it says they can cancel and repay course if there are exceptional circumstances.

That seems a very generous offer - but no, they don't have to do it.

Grab it with both hands.
