This Easter weekend we get two lovely bank holidays. What better way to use these than to go on a nice short-break holiday?

However, these weekend breaks present just as many risks as any other holiday so it is paramount that you cover yourself with a travel insurance policy.

If you think that your Easter weekend break is going to be the only holiday you will take outside of the UK this year, then you will probably just need a single-trip travel insurance policy.

If, however, you are fortunate enough to be going on more than one holiday this year you stand to save a reasonable sum if you buy annual multi-trip travel insurance.

Sometimes, it is cheaper to buy an annual multi-trip travel insurance policy in place of a single-trip policy, i.e. you buy multi-trip cover when you know you are only going on one trip.

You would need to check the terms and conditions of individual policies to be sure that the annual travel insurance policy would be valid if you only went on one trip. You would also need to be sure that the amount of cover provided by the cheaper multi-trip policy is equivalent to the cover you would get with the single-trip policy.

Some providers offer a no-claims discount if you have purchased travel insurance from them in the past and not had to make a claim. Other providers offer a discount on their travel insurance policies if you currently have another insurance product with them, e.g. car insurance or home insurance
