The Monaco Grand Prix runs through the streets of Monte Carlo every May, the most glamorous and most expensive weekend on the Formula 1 calendar. Grandstand seats, harbour views and hotels along the Riviera all cost a lot and are booked far ahead, so a race weekend here is worth protecting. Compare plans below.
Planning your trip
Monaco is tiny and sells out completely on race weekend, so many fans stay in nearby Nice or along the French Riviera and travel in.
The circuit runs through the principality itself, so road and rail around the coast are busy and tightly managed across the weekend.
May on the Riviera is usually warm and bright, but a wet race changes everything, including how you get around.
Medical care on the Riviera is good but private and expensive for visitors, and a serious case can mean transfer across the border.
What cover to look for
- Overseas medical and repatriation cover is the priority, since visitors pay for private treatment and the region is served by cross border hospitals.
- Trip cancellation cover, with your Grand Prix ticket value included in the trip cost, can protect prepaid spend if you cannot travel for a covered reason. Check the covered reasons in each plan.
- Because many fans base themselves in France and travel into Monaco, make sure every country in your plans is covered.
- Travel delay cover helps if a flight delay eats into a race day you have paid for.
Monaco Grand Prix travel insurance: FAQs
Does travel insurance cover Monaco Grand Prix tickets?+
Not by themselves. You generally need trip cancellation cover and you include the ticket value in your total trip cost. If you then cannot travel for a reason the policy covers, the prepaid spend can be reimbursed. Always read the plan for covered reasons and exclusions.
I am staying in Nice and travelling into Monaco. Am I covered?+
Check that your policy covers every country you will visit, not just one. If you base yourself in France and cross into Monaco for the race, both should be within the cover. Compare plans above and confirm the destinations before you buy.
Does Event Escapes offer travel insurance?+
Yes. You can compare travel insurance plans for your trip directly on Event Escapes and buy the one that suits you. Cover is arranged through our licensed insurance partner, and the policy is issued by the insurer named on your plan.
What does travel insurance cover?+
Most plans cover emergency medical and hospital costs overseas, repatriation, trip cancellation and interruption, travel delays, and lost or delayed baggage. Higher tiers can add cover for winter sports, adventure activities and higher benefit limits. Always check the plan details for exact limits and exclusions.
Does an excess apply on a travel insurance claim?+
An excess is the amount you pay towards a claim. Whether one applies, and how much, is set by the insurer and varies by plan, not by Event Escapes. We do not receive the excess figure in the quote, so always check the excess in the insurer’s policy documents before you buy.
Can travel insurance cover my event tickets?+
When you add trip cancellation cover and include the value of your tickets in your total trip cost, the money you have spent on event tickets, hotels and flights can be protected if you have to cancel or cut your trip short for a covered reason. Check each plan for what counts as a covered reason.
Can I still get cover if my trip is already booked?+
Yes. You can compare and buy travel insurance whether or not you booked your trip through Event Escapes. It is best to buy soon after booking so cancellation cover applies from the earliest possible date.
When should I buy travel insurance?+
Buy as soon as you have booked and paid for any part of your trip. Cancellation cover generally starts from the day you buy the policy, so buying early protects your deposits and non refundable bookings for longer.
Who is the insurer and who handles claims?+
Event Escapes is not the insurer. Each plan is provided and issued by a regulated insurer, and claims and emergency assistance are handled by that insurer or its appointed team. The insurer, policy documents and claims details are shown before you buy.

Comparison information only. Event Escapes is not an insurer and does not provide insurance advice. Cover is arranged through a licensed insurance partner, and each policy is provided and issued by the regulated insurer named on the plan. Travel insurance covers your ability to travel, not whether an event goes ahead. Cover, limits and exclusions vary by plan and by your country of residence and destination. An excess, the amount you pay towards a claim, may apply and is set by the insurer, so check the excess in the policy documents before you buy. Always read the plan details, the insurance product information and the policy terms before you buy.
