Designed specifically with frequent travellers in mind, annual multi-trip insurance provides affordable cover and convenience for people who travel for holiday or business reasons two or more times per year with no maximum limit of how many times you can travel annually.
Instead of buying separate insurance each time you set off, a multi-trip insurance policy will cover every trip you make during a 12-month period - making it cheaper than taking out a new policy each time you travel. While multi-trip insurance will provide you with cover for the trips you take within the term length, there are policy exclusions, including trips spanning over 31 days. Trips over 31 days will have to be covered by a long stay policy.
As soon as you take out your annual travel policy, your 12-month period will begin.
Your policy will need to be activated before each trip you take. Not all destinations have the same risks, you will be notified of any excesses or exclusions.
You will be covered for various risks during your trip, be sure to check your policy for any exclusions or additional coverage you may need for different destinations.
In the event that you need to make a claim, your policy will still continue until the end of its term.
With MoneySuperMarket annual multi-trip insurance starts from £11.50* however, travel insurance costs can vary wildly based on how each policy is underwritten and several factors including:
If you have any medical conditions it is important to disclose them to your insurer, but it may increase your premiums as there may be a higher chance that you'll make a claim.
Additional cover such as cruise cover, winter sports cover, or gadget cover can impact the price of your premiums.
Your travel insurance premiums are likely to increase with age as you develop a higher risk of experiencing accidents, injuries, and illness. Travel insurers usually place travellers into age bands with over 65 travellers often placed in a higher-risk bracket.
Usually, the higher the level of cover, the more expensive your policy is likely to be. Be sure to choose the level of coverage that you need carefully.
The excess is the amount you agree to contribute towards any claims you make in the future. The higher your excess, the cheaper your premiums will likely be, but make sure you can afford the excess if you make a claim.
Where you are travelling to can affect premium costs because different destinations pose different risks. Be sure to choose your destination region effectively. For example, if you have no intention to go to the US there is no need for you to get coverage for the states.
Travel insurance policies vary depending on a number of factors, covering different losses and offering different features. If you plan on taking part in any excursions or activities, or you need gadget cover, be sure to add these optional extras on to your policy so you are covered.
Emergency medical expenses: Treatment abroad can rack up some hefty bills. Your cover will be able to help you in the event that you need emergency medical treatment or repatriation.
Lost, stolen or damaged baggage: Covers if your baggage gets lost, stolen, damaged o destroyed.
Personal liability: In the case that you are liable for any injuries, loss of possession or damage to the property of a third party.
Travel accommodation for delays & cancellation: There are many things out of your control that can affect your travel plans. Check your policy to see what cases will be covered
Pre-existing conditions: Usually standard long-stay travel insurance won't cover the cost of treatment abroad for any pre-existing conditions unless you purchase a specialised policy with medical cover.
Trip duration: While you don't have a limit on how many trips you can be covered for during a 12 month period, your annual policy will not cover trips that span over 31 days.
Drugs and alcohol: Any incidents relating to drugs or alcohol are unlikely to be covered by your insurance. This applies to all types of claims, including claims for medical cover.
Missed departure: Travel insurance won't reimburse you if you miss your flight because you were late. You'll only be covered for missed departure in an emergency.
With MoneySupermarket, you can still get an annual travel insurance policy for a medical condition or if you've ever had a serious illness. Be sure to understand what your policy will cover and any exclusions that are named in your policy. If you have any pre-existing conditions your policy may be more expensive than other policies as insurers see you as more of a risk to make a claim.
