Single Trip Insurance

A single trip policy is designed for U.K. residents. The age limits are upto 74 years for single trip, (upto 65 for winter sports and upto 74 for hazardous sports). It provides insurance cover for one-off trips abroad or in the U.K. When booking you will need to enter the start and end date of your holiday and cover will apply between these dates. We offer cover for individuals, couples who co-habit, families and single parents. Cancellation cover for your holiday will start immediately. If you travel more than once throughout the year it might be worth investing in our Annual Multi Trip policy.

All travel must start and end in the United Kingdom.
