Cheap single trip travel insurance
Each year, UK residents make millions of trips abroad, many people making a number of trips, others only leaving the country once a year. Irrespective of how many journeys you are making, getting the right travel insurance is always a wise thing to do as it can protect you should you need to make a claim for unexpected medical expenses overseas. However, you want to get the cover that is right for you, and if you are only planning on making one journey then you may be able to save money by taking out a single trip travel insurance policy.
If you are looking for cheap single trip travel insurance, you can try getting a quote from Direct Line – we can give you an instant online quote that can be purchased online, with a discount and offer other discounts for families and children. The actual price will depend on the country or countries you are going to visit, the number of travellers, their ages and the length of your stay.
As well as providing you with cover for lost or stolen items and money, including your passport, you are covered for emergency medical assistance and travel expenses such as repatriation and delayed, curtailed or cancelled travel. A range of organised activities is also insured and, should you be taking part in other activities, such as skiing, these can be covered with the payment of an extra premium.
