Designed specifically with frequent travellers in mind, annual multi-trip insurance provides affordable cover and convenience for people who go on holiday or travel for business reasons two or more times per year with no maximum limit on 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 for 12 months - 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.
If you need to make a claim, your policy will continue until the end of its term.
"It’s always worth pausing to think about how often you’ll venture away from home when buying travel insurance – including trips to other parts of the UK.
If you’re likely to travel more than once in the coming year, an annual policy may well save you money. The trick is remembering you already have a policy in place six months later when planning another getaway!

With MoneySuperMarket annual multi-trip insurance starts from £9.051 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 covers 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 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 several 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 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 if you need emergency medical treatment or repatriation.
Lost, stolen or damaged baggage: Covers if your baggage gets lost, stolen, damaged or 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 & cancellations: 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 12 months, 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.

Annual travel insurance can work out cheaper for people who take lots of short trips in a single year. It's cheaper in the same way that buying goods in bulk is cheaper: even though your insurer's profit per unit (i.e. each trip you take) is lower, they're guaranteed more money up from, while your chances of making a claim do not increase.
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.

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.
