Which Policy is best for me?
We offer basic 3 types of Travel Insurance:

Single Trip insurance
This policy covers you for a single trip and is the best value for normal holidays and business trips if you only travel once a year.
[Top]


Annual Multi-Trip insurance
This policy covers you for as many journeys as you like during a full year. The maximum length of any one trip is 45 days.
Annual Multi-Trip insurance also includes cover for winter sports such as skiing and snow boarding automatically!
This is the best value for you if you plan to travel more than once in any 12 month period..
[Top]


Long Stay insurance
This policy provides the best value for travellers planning a long journey of over a month - or if you are travelling on a budget.
The Long Stay policy provides a slightly reduced level of cover compared to the Single Trip - but at significantly better rates!

And Don't forget - you can tailor each of these policies to your exact needs!.

What "Destination" should I chose?
The Insure & Go travel advice page lists all the countries in the world and which insurance area they fall into.
