Single Trip Insurance

This type of travel insurance is designed for people needing cover while traveling for the holidays in the near future. If you consider that last year in the UK alone, more than 400,000 insurance claims were made for holiday and business travelers, it is easy to see why this is such a valuable investment.

With single trip insurance, you will have coverage just in case something goes different from planned. This provides you the ability to enjoy your travels while not spending time worrying. For this reason, single travel insurance is the key to a successful, worry-free trip. The important thing is to ensure you buy the right type of coverage – not too little and not too much, which is where we can help by allowing us to get quotes (add hyperlink) for you.

Although there are many qualified insurance companies on the market, you should look for one that offers at minimum the following:

  • Air ambulance and medical coverage up to £5,000,000
  • Travel delay or missed departure liability coverage
  • Emergency assistance 24 hours a day and a convenient helpline phone number
  • Your choice of three policies from which to choose

Multi-Trip Insurance

If you enjoy international travel, you know, the coveted round the world trip, then purchasing multi-trip insurance before you go is imperative. With global travel, you want the best coverage possible. Remember, that you will be going into different foreign countries that do things differently than they do in the UK. Make good decisions and protect yourself for a minimal cost and you will enjoy your trip far more.

Whether traveling more than once a year for personal enjoyment or business trips, you want to start each year by purchasing quality insurance. Interestingly, multi-trip insurance was first offered by the Columbus Insurance company in 1944. With this type of insurance, you pay the premium at the beginning of the year and then you have coverage throughout the year for an unlimited number of trips. Some of the benefits that you will find with multi-trip insurance include:

• Better value than single trip insurance
• Automatic coverage for winter sports since most people have at least one trip a year for skiing and snowboarding

The only thing to consider for multi-trip insurance is that depending on the policy, you may or may not be limited to the number of trips as well as the length of each trip. For example, some policies will deem that you have 30 days for one trip while another company may give you 90 days. Therefore, before you jump to the first policy you find, make sure you understand all the pros and cons.

Backpacker’s Insurance

Backpacking is a favorite pastime for people of all ages, from the college student to married couples that love doing things together. In fact, entire families have taken up backpacking and hiking, proving that the generation gap can indeed be bridged. If you love the outdoors and enjoy taking a backpacking trip once a year, just be sure you purchase backpacker’s insurance before you head to the hills. To get competitive quotes (add hyperlink), we would be happy to assist.

The important thing is to work with an insurance company that has experience. This ensures that you will enjoy the culture of each place you visit, whether it is in Europe, Asia, Australia, or the United States. You want a company that can help you plan the best coverage regardless of where you travel. With this type of insurance, you will have coverage in case you have an accident or fall during a climb. Remember that not every country you visit will provide free healthcare so knowing you can receive immediate treatment for injury could be a matter of life and death. Other benefits related to backpacker’s insurance include:

  • Lost or stolen personal belongings
  • All-inclusive coverage options, which includes health and medical insurance, temporary car insurance, prescription drugs, holiday insurance, and cancellation coverage.
  • Gap year coverage, time off from work, holiday, studying or working abroad are also covered in most cases
  • Emergency evacuation
  • Travel protection
  • Hospitalization International Assistance Cards

When it comes to buying backpacker’s insurance, the one thing you need to consider is that many policies offered in the UK only cover individuals to and including the age of 35. Therefore, if you backpacker’s insurance but you are younger than 36, you will need to look around.

Group or Family Insurance

Many families take time together every year to travel on vacation and as a parent; the concern is to protect them both at home and away from home. This is when group or family insurance can keep the entire family safe. This policy is designed for bulk purchase. In other words, rather than paying for insurance coverage for each individual member of the family, the policy covers all members as one policy. Not only is this convenient but it is also cost effective.

Depending on the company you choose, some offer free coverage for kids under a certain age. Additionally, you will find some policies that will cover two children free while other policies will cover as many as eight children, although the higher number is a bit more challenging to find.

Sadly, while some companies will charge around £400 to cover a family that includes two parents and up to seven children, other insurance companies will deny coverage to families with more than six children, why looking at all your options is so crucial.

Couple Insurance

If you travel with someone, you can save money by purchasing a joint policy rather than two individual policies. This is a great way to save money while still enjoying the benefits of the joint coverage. Since couple insurance is trickier than other forms of travel insurance, you want to work with a qualified UK insurance company to get the best coverage at the best possible price.

For instance, typically couple insurance coverage would relate to a married man and woman. Therefore, if you are in a same-sex relationship or marriage or simply a dating couple traveling for the holiday together, you may need to look a little further to find the right option. You will also have the opportunity to buy couple insurance for annual travel, which is another way of saving money. If you are interested in receiving free quotes (add hyperlink), let us help.

Winter Sports Insurance

Another popular type of insurance for those who love to travel in the wintertime is called winter sports insurance. This type of coverage is specially designed if you love skiing or snowboarding. Taking a planned ski trip with family or friends is an incredible time of fun but because this is a sport where injuries happen, it is important to be safe.

By choosing a good, winter sports insurance policy before your next trip, you can feel relaxed and have much more fun. For example, last year in the UK, more than 40,000 claims were made for people traveling on winter sports vacations. You can prepare for the unexpected without paying a fortune and know that you will receive care from an established hospital should you get hurt. Think of winter sports insurance as one more step in the planning stage for your next winter vacation. Best of all, many policies include coverage for illness, lost or stolen purse/wallet, lost or damaged luggage, ski and snowboarding equipment, delays and cancellation, and telephone help line.

The great news about winter sports insurance is that it is not expensive. Unless you take more than two or three trips a year, you will get the best value for your money by purchasing insurance coverage on a per-trip basis. Keep in mind that before you opt to buy a separate winter sports policy, check to see if your normal travel insurance provides this type of coverage since some do.
