Going on holiday to an International destination? If so, you'll need International Travel Insurance.

International Travel Insurance is essential if you are travelling outside of the UK. One of the main reasons for this is if you need emergency medical treatment abroad the bills can be very expensive, particularly in places such as Spain and the USA. A good International Travel Insurance policy should also cover you for cancellation/curtailment, personal accident, personal liability and legal expenses as a minimum.

Annual Multi-trip International Travel Insurance policies usually cover for an unlimited number of trips taken in the course of a year up to a certain duration (24/7 travel insurance policies offer cover for trips up to 31 days). So if you want to take off somewhere last minute, you don't have to worry about arranging international travel insurance again if you already have a policy in place. If you take more than two trips in a year an annual multi-trip International Travel Insurance policy will very likely work out as better value for money.

A Single Trip International Travel Insurance policy could be the right choice for you if you tend to have one main holiday a year. With Single Trip International Travel Insurance, if you arrange your cover as soon as you book your holiday or trip, you are immediately protected should you need to cancel your holiday or trip.

Backpacker International Travel Insurance policies are ideal if you are planning a trip lasting more than a month. These policies can be an inexpensive way to cover extended trips and many offer cover for adventurous activities although you will need to check the policy before you travel to make sure your activity is covered.
