Travel insurance is a type of cover that protects you whilst you’re on holiday. It protects against a range of circumstances such as cancellation or cutting your trip short, medical emergencies and repatriation, personal belongings and baggage, and more.
Single-trip travel insurance covers one trip only. Whereas multi-trip travel insurance provides you with cover during multiple trips over the year.
