When you’re planning a long trip, you’ll need travel insurance that can cover your whole holiday.
Long stay travel insurance is cover for a longer term trip – usually for holidays where you’ll be away between three and 18 months.
If your holiday is up to three months you’ll be covered by our Single Trip policy with no upper age limit for global travel.
It’s important to keep up-to-date with travel advice before booking your trip and taking out holiday insurance.
Before you travel, you’ll need to check:
Important: FCDO travel advice and the traffic light system’s red, amber and green list are two separate pieces of advice. Find out more here.
From 19 July 2021, fully vaccinated travellers are not required to self-isolate when returning from amber list countries.

When you’re travelling in Europe, you’ll want to enjoy your holiday comfortably, confident that you’re well covered by your travel insurance if you have a medical emergency.
You can declare your medical condition through our online medical screening process, which is a straightforward set of questions for us to understand how your medical conditions affect you. Or, if you prefer, you can complete the medical screening over the phone.
It’s important that all pre-existing conditions are declared on your policy. This will avoid large medical bills if you need treatment in another country. Failure to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions may affect the validity of your policy should you need to claim.
Whenever you need us, our 24/7 claims team is here for you.
