What is annual travel insurance?

Designed with frequent travellers in mind, annual travel insurance - also known as multi-trip travel insurance - covers you for several trips abroad in the space of a year.

A policy can save you money and hassle if:

How does it work?

Instead of buying a separate round of travel insurance every time you set off, a multi-trip policy will cover every trip you make for 12 months.

  • Your 12-month period will begin as soon as you take out your annual travel policy.

  • Your policy will need to be activated before each trip you take.

  • You will be notified of any excesses or exclusions based specific to your destination

  • If you need to make a claim, your policy will continue until the end of its term.

What’s covered?

Travel insurance policies cover various things and each policy varies in the way they're underwritten, influencing coverage and features. Be sure to check your policy documents for what is included and excluded from your annual policy. However, typical inclusions are:

  • Tick

    Covered

    • Emergency medical expenses: Your cover will be able to help you if you need emergency medical treatment or repatriation.

    • Lost, stolen or damaged baggage: Covers your baggage if it gets lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed.

    • Personal liability: If you are liable for any injuries, loss of possession or damage to the property of a third party.

    • Travel accommodation for delays and cancellations: In the event of transport problems or other issues. Check your policy to see what cases will be covered.

    • Covid-19: Medical treatment and cover for covid is usually included with most travel insurance policies

    • Cancellation cover: If your holiday is cancelled for reasons out of your control, your policy may cover the cancellation costs

  • Cross

    Not covered

    • Pre-existing conditions: Unless it's a policy with medical cover, most travel insurance won't cover treatment abroad for pre-existing conditions.

    • Trip duration: While you can make as many trips as you like within 12 months, an 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, including claims for medical cover.

    • Missed departure: Travel insurance won't reimburse you if you miss your flight because you were late, unless it was due to an emergency.

    • Winter sports: There are many excursions, water sports and extreme sports, including winter sports that your policy may not cover as standard

Advantages and Disadvantages

There are many advantages and disadvantages of taking out an annual multi trip policy. Here are a few to consider:

  • Tick

    Advantages

    • More cost effective than purchasing more than one single-trip travel insurance policy

    • You can travel all year long without continuously shopping for a new policy each time (as long as your destination is covered in your policy)

    • A multi-trip policy can also cover UK getaways

    • You can get cover for worldwide destinations

  • Cross

    Disadvantages

    • You will usually have a trip length limit per trip you take. This is usually around 30 days. Any trip over 30 days will need a long stay travel insurance policy

    • If you don't travel often, an annual policy may be more expensive than single trip travel insurance

    • There are often upper age limits ( typically over 75)

    • An annual policy could be quite expensive if you have a pre-existing condition

Our expert says…

Will I save money with multi-trip travel insurance?

"Budget flights have opened up the world, so many of us now enjoy several holidays in a year. So, if you like to travel multiple times in a year – an annual multi-trip insurance policy makes the most sense and will most likely save you money. According to the Office of National Statistics us Brits made 15.3 million visits abroad in 2023, a 59% increase from 9.6 million the previous year. Multi-trip travel insurance costs from just £10.01*, leaving you with plenty of cash for holiday shopping."
*Based on an individual aged 30 taking European cover starts 22 April 2024

  • coin icon

    Increase your excess

    Choosing a higher excess can help reduce your premiums. However, if you do have to make a claim, you will have to pay more toward it

    Consider optional extras

    Optional add-ons can enhance your coverage, but it’s worth checking whether they're already covered by other policies

Easy to navigate and understand and very good prices. Thank you
Good price for worldwide yearly travel. Easy to apply and buy!!
A variety of choices with various filters so you can choose what it’s important to you. The de facto rating unimportant to me so I filtered by that but for others it could be price and amount of over . I got what I needed at a very fair price so didn’t bother shopping around

    You’re on your way

    Once you’ve chosen, you can purchase your policy and you’ll be covered for your trip

You will be asked a few lifestyle questions, what regions you would like your travel insurance to cover and any pre-existing medical conditions that you may have. If you have any medical conditions, you will be asked further questions.

The date you chose for your policy to start from is when your 12-month period will begin. You will be covered for as many trips as you like within the year but you'll usually be limited to less than 31 days per trip.

Your policy will cover you for many things during your holiday depending on your level of cover. If you do not purchase the extra cover with your annual policy and you are going on a cruise, ski holiday or you need gadget cover, then you will need to add on extra cover separately.

You can have an annual insurance policy for yourself or a joint travel policy with your partner, you can also get travel insurance for the whole family under one policy. If you travel without your family but still with more than two people you have the option to take out travel insurance for a group if you travel often together.

The excess is the amount you volunteer to pay for each claim you make. Usually the higher the excess, the cheaper your premium price but you need to make sure you can pay the excess amount in the event of any claims.
