If it is a single trip policy, you are covered from the date/time you pay in full. If it is an annual multi trip, you are covered from the date you ask your provider to start the policy from.

Up to you and depends on insurance.

For covid cover 26th. If your insurance covers lost baggage, delays etc then 24th
