It also means that you don’t have to specify travel dates and you don’t have the last minute panic of buying insurance just before you leave. As with any insurance it is still essential that you are aware of what is covered and what is not on the policy. Annual policies don’t necessarily include skiing holidays or other higher risk activities so you should check before buying.

Annual multi-trip travel insurance is offered by most providers so you have a lot of choice. That means that taking the time to compare the offerings online can be very worthwhile.
