Single trip insurance is sometimes called short stay travel insurance or one trip travel insurance. It covers you for a round trip to one or more destinations, so it’s a great choice for a one-off holiday. You can country-hop to multiple destinations in one trip and spend up to 104 days abroad!
Your single trip insurance policy covers:
✔ All ages, with no upper age limit
✔ Most pre-existing medical conditions, with up to unlimited medical expenses
✔ Cancellations and cutting your trip short
✔ COVID-19 cover as standard
Travelling for longer, or planning multiple trips this year?
If you want to travel for longer, a long stay policy will cover you for up to 18 months away. And if there’s a chance you’ll be travelling often in the next 12 months, an Annual Multi-Trip policy might be best and could save you time and money.

These are just a few of the things our policy covers. For the ins and the outs, take a look at our policy wording.
Get QuoteWe can cover most pre-existing medical conditions - because something you live with day to day shouldn't stop you seeing the world.
Your pre-existing medical conditions need to be outlined on your medical cover, including common conditions such as high blood pressure, or diabetes. If anything changes between taking out your policy and going on holiday, you must let us know. You can do this online by logging into your My Staysure account.
We understand how important it is for your travel insurance to offer the right level of cover so you can travel with confidence. We cover most pre-existing conditions, but occasionally, we might not be able to help.
If that’s the case, we recommend checking out BIBA medical directory or calling them on 0370 950 1790. They can provide a full list of specialist medical travel insurance providers who might be able to help.
There's no upper age limit on our Single Trip Travel Insurance, so you can insure the whole family. You might even get your cover for less, as families and couples living at the same address get an automatic discount on their policy. We also cover most pre-existing medical conditions.
Single trip holiday insurance could be the perfect option if you are planning a one-off holiday. Annual Multi-Trip Insurance, on the other hand, is more suited to frequent jetsetters. It can cover you for multiple trips throughout a 12-month period - you can travel as many times as you want up to a total of 183 days. How long you can spend abroad in one go depends on your age.
Yes! With Single Trip travel insurance, cancellation cover kicks in as soon as you take out your cover. Cancellation cover applies to circumstances that are both outside of your control, and you were unaware of when you bought your policy.
It takes care of things like:
How much single trip travel insurance costs varies depending on the type of cover you need. The cost is also affected by how likely you are to make a claim either before, or during, your holiday. Factors like your age, any pre-existing medical conditions that you have, where you’re travelling to and any optional extras you choose can all have an impact.
Single trip insurance can be cheaper than annual cover if you’re going on a one-off holiday. But if there's a chance you'll be travelling more than once in the next 12 months, an Annual Multi-Trip policy could work out to be cheaper per trip. It all depends on how many trips you make over the next year — if you’re only going on one or two holidays, a single trip policy will likely be the most cost-effective option.
You should take out a policy as soon as you book your trip to make sure you're covered for unforeseen events that might mean you have to cancel. You might be able to buy a single trip policy from us up to 24 months before you travel - depending on your age.
A single trip is a one-off holiday that begins when you leave your home, and ends when you get back home. You can visit multiple destinations during your travels, but you’re limited to being away for a maximum of up to 104 days.
If you need to make a claim, we'll make it as easy and stress-free as possible.
