Single trip travel insurance

What is single trip travel insurance?

In this guide, you will learn how single trip travel insurance works and how to get it for the cheapest price.

How does this type of travel insurance work?

Single trip travel insurance is one of the most straight forward options for travel insurance. This is how it works: the first thing you need to do is figure out where you are going and for how long you are going. For single trip cover to be valid you have to be going from a destination in the UK and your trip or holiday should end in the UK.

Single trip travel cover is useful for people who travel a lot for business. As the world becomes more international from a business perspective, it is more common for people to travel from the UK to hotspots where there are emerging economies such as China, India and Brazil. It's worth pointing out though, that single trip travel insurance is generally only the cheapest travel insurance option, if you only plan to travel once or at a maximum of twice throughout a 12 month period. If you plan on travelling more than twice throughout the year, then you should pop over to our multi trip travel insurance page, as multi trip insurance, unsurprisingly, is the cheapest form of travel insurance if you travel regularly.

If you work in business internationally, you should get single trip travel cover for the business trips that you make. This covers you in case anything goes wrong such as you falling ill. This is especially important for internationally mobile entrepreneurs to know that single trip travel cover will be their support during busy trips abroad.

Weekend breaks continue to soar in popularity with Brits who love the convenience of hopping over to one country just for a long weekend. Single trip travel insurance even if you are popping over to Paris for a weekend of shopping is a smart move to make.

You might feel like you want to change your plans at the last minute because there is a family emergency or because you need to do extra work on the weekends. The cancellation conditions for single trip insurance policies are ideal for people who go on weekend breaks because they are flexible to your lifestyle needs and choices.

How do I know if single cover travel insurance is right for me?
