Single Trip Insurance

For holiday makers who travel abroad only once a year then the option of single trip insurance may be the right choice. This policy will cover you for a set number of days for instance 7, 14 or 21 so make sure that you buy enough to cover your holiday. If you do end up staying away longer than the specified return date you won’t be covered unless you take out an extension.

Single trip insurance can be a cost effective way to make sure a one-off trip is covered but if you are going to travel abroad two or three times in a year then an annual policy may be more convenient and work out cheaper over the year.

For those travellers who have no intention of leaving the country other than for one special holiday and who want to keep the cost of insurance down to the minimum, single trip insurance does mean that they won’t be paying for cover that they don’t need.

There are a host of providers of single trip insurance so as with all insurance products it pays to compare.
