Should I choose the cheapest travel insurance?

If you just want to cover the essentials, then Basic Travel Insurance could be a great choice.

It’s our most affordable policy, but it can still cover you for cancellation, medical emergencies, lost luggage, delayed travel and more.

Whether you choose a Single Trip, Annual Multi-Trip  or Long Stay policy, you’ll get up to £5m emergency medical expenses as standard, for total peace of mind.

Best of all, there’s no upper age limit. And you can cover most pre-existing medical conditions —because something you live with day to day shouldn’t get in the way of a good holiday.

See the world with affordable, tailored cover that suits you.

"Have used Staysure for a number of years. 2 yrs ago had to cancel our holiday because my husband needed an urgent operation. Staysure sorted our claim with no fuss or hassle and quickly."

"Excellent service on phone when buying travel insurance. We have used Staysure before and had to make a claim from Singapore in an emergency situation. It was handled well, and all financial payments were dealt with efficiently and speedily. Would highly recommend!"

People also asked

You can buy group travel insurance that puts multiple people on the same policy. In fact, it can work out cheaper to do it this way if you’re living at the same address.

A shared policy can also give you extra peace of mind. For example, you can be covered to cut your trip short if someone else in your party has a medical emergency and is forced to return home.
