UK Staycation / Rail Strikes Insurance

Gmitch2000

A while ago I booked a UK trip and hotel stay for Easter 2023. 

The hotel booking does not have a cancelation policy and payment was taken at the time of booking. 

As rail strikes are still ongoing I am starting to get worried if I will now be able to get to the hotel. 

Does anyone know of any suitable staycation travel insurance to cover not been able to travel to a UK based hotel?

Most of the travel insurance companies  cover UK holidays when accommodation has been booked for  a minimum time.

However, insurance cover is for unexpected events. Potential rail strikes are are a known risk at present so it is unlikely you would find any insurance company willing to cove for them.

I would suggest you investigate alternative ways of getting there, if necessary.

We're in a similar boat; a London theatre trip (the first in years) booked last November for this April 1st.  I really resent that households are subsidising the railways to the tune of hundreds of pounds a year each when the workers are so often on strike.  No-one would give me a 10% pay rise or bail out the company if customers turned away from our product in droves. In future we'll stick to local events we can drive to.

Do they also cover for travelling in your own car if the weather is too bad to drive safely.
