• Single trip coverage is ideal for those that travel only occasionally, and want to be covered for a single trip only. This is a low cost form of coverage and provides protection for just the single trip that you are booking the coverage for.
• Annual coverage is also known as multi-trip coverage, and this covers you for a number of trips over a set period of time, making it the ideal choice for those that tend to travel abroad more regularly, as it can work out cheaper than having to keep taking out separate coverage for each trip, as well as saving you time and hassle.
• Winter sports coverage is what you need if you are going on a skiing trip or taking part in another winter sport, which are classed as higher risk. This insurance provides the additional protection you need for a higher risk holiday, and also protects your expensive equipment against loss, damage, etc.
