Travel Insurers Begin Removing ‘In Event Of Wildfires’ Coverage From Policies

THE HARD work of quickly removing wildfire coverage from all new and soon-to-be-renewed travel insurance policies has begun across the industry in response to wildfires raging in Spain, France and elsewhere.

“It was a shock to us, the last thing you want to do as an insurance company is provide cover that could actually be used and claimed by customers, that’s the last thing this game is about,” confirmed one insurer as they became adept at hitting the delete key on mention of wildfires in all policy documents.

“It’s all hands on deck, it’s lovely to see when something catastrophic like this happens the legal team has came in on the weekend to see about pulling the whole ‘act of God’ fast one,” confirmed another industry leader.

Holiday makers have been urged to double check their policies for sneaky clauses and terms and conditions designed to ensure that when insurance is needed most, it;s not there.

“What the fuck? I’m only covered for theft if the person who robs me doesn’t have a vowel in their in their first name or surname,” one exasperated customer shared.

Meanwhile, some people are taking the news over 300,000 people in France and Spain have had to be evacuated in their stride.

“Ah, it’s fine, I don’t know why you are all acting like this isn’t a very normal snd typical event,” confirmed one Spanish man and climate change denier as he refused to be rescued from the middle of a forest engulfed in flames.
