What is single trip travel insurance?
If you’re only planning on one trip this year, our single trip travel insurance could be your best option for holiday protection.
It can cover you, you and your partner, your family or a group, and could protect your personal baggage, cover medical expenses and more.
Cover is available for travel in the UK, Europe or worldwide.
There’s no upper age limit on our single trip policy and it can last up to 94 days.

24-7 customer support for medical emergencies
If you need emergency medical help, our team is available to talk 24 hours a day.

Our medical screening process is easy to complete and can be done online or over the phone, to make sure you have the right cover in place.
