Questions about single-trip travel insurance

We can cover travellers aged up to (and including) 100 years old. Find out more about our single trip policies.

For travellers aged 69 or below, we can cover up to 186 days per trip. However we can provide cover for people aged up to 100 for up to 31 days or more – depending on your specific age. Find out more about our single trip policies here.

We cannot provide a policy for anyone aged under 18 to travel separately from the named adult(s) on a policy.

Our single trip policies provide cover for the holiday dates that you provided when you completed your quote. Your cancellation cover becomes active as soon as you have purchased your policy.

Every holiday is different. We have six basic policies – ranging from Economy to Exclusive – that give you the freedom to choose the level of cover that's right for you, your budget and your travel plans. You can further personalise your policy with our range of optional extras – such as cruise cover, gadget cover and an excess waiver. Your policy, your way. Our three most popular policies are available online and you can start a new quote here. If you would like more options, call us on 0345 90 80 161 to discuss our full range of cover.

We can only provide you with cover if you are still in the UK. Already abroad? We work with specialist travel insurers who should be able to help you. Take a look at our list of partners.

Yes we do. In fact we are experts. Our unique medical screening system allows us to find out more about your condition and how it's managed.
