Travel Insurance Basics

Annual vs Single
If you’re likely to travel more than twice a year it will definitely be cheaper to go for annual travel cover.
Travelling can broaden the mind they say but unforeseen events can also spoil your trip. However having good travel insurance cover, particularly if you didn’t pay over the odds for it, may go some way to softening the blow.
Plus, even if you’ve left it late to get insurance you can obtain instant travel insurance cover online and have your documents e-mailed to you so you can relax on holiday.
In summary, with travelprotect travel insurance you’ll get:
- Single trip or annual cover – choose the length of cover you need.
- Design your own cover – on any single trip or annual travel policy you can choose between standard or superior levels of cover. The superior option will give you higher cover levels and lower excesses.
- Up to £5M medical expenses cover – as standard.
- Flexibility – add on extras and tailor your cover. For example, if you’re a golfer, into water sports or going backpacking, you can get tailored cover. See the add-ons section for more information.
