Planning on a few different getaways this year? Then make sure to pack an annual multi-trip travel insurance policy which will cover all of your travels for the year.

If you’re thinking about packing your bags and escaping more than once over the next 12 months, then we can save you the hassle and expense of arranging multiple travel insurance policies by bundling all your cover into one year-long policy. 

Annual travel cover can be more cost effective if you’re planning on travelling a lot over the year, but if you’re only thinking about taking one holiday in the next 12 months then single trip cover could be the better option for you.

What is Annual Multi-Trip Travel Insurance?

 

So, what is annual multi-trip travel insurance? It’s essentially a policy that provides cover for people who tend to travel more frequently throughout the year and keeps them protected regardless of how many trips they take within a year. It’s essentially year-long travel insurance and is generally divided into the following three categories:

 

  • UK
  • UK and Europe
  • Worldwide, including the USA, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean
  • Worldwide, excluding the USA, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean

 

An annual travel insurance policy is a good option for those who may have multiple trips planned throughout the year, as one multi-trip travel insurance policy will keep you covered for all the trips you plan on taking over the course of a year. *

*As long as no single trip lasts longer than 31 days if you have Value cover, 45 days if you have Premium cover, and 55 days if you have Superior cover.

Top Multi Trip Travel Insurance FAQs:

How does multi trip travel insurance work?

Multi-trip travel insurance, or annual travel insurance as it’s also known, is designed to give holiday-goers cover for any trips they take over the course of 12 months. This allows them to take out one policy for the year rather than separate policies for each individual trip.

Why is annual multi trip travel insurance cheaper than single?

The reason annual or yearly travel insurance can be cheaper than single trip cover is because it groups all of your trips under one policy. So, if you’re taking more than one holiday over the course of the year, then they’ll all be covered by your annual policy.

If you instead took out a single trip travel insurance policy for each trip, they might be cheaper individual but over time those costs add up and end up being more expensive than an annual travel policy.

When should I buy annual travel insurance?

You should make sure to have your travel insurance in place as soon as you can when booking your trip, ideally at the same time to make the most of your cover against cancellations.

However, if you’ve got dates planned for multiple trips throughout the year then you may want to maximise your cover and take out your policy strategically. This means taking it out slightly closer to the time of your first trip in order to maximise your coverage for the next 12 months.

Can I get travel insurance for next year?

Depending on when you take out your annual travel insurance policy, it can be valid into next year for a certain period of time. For instance, if you took out an annual travel policy on September 1st this year, it would be valid until August 31st next year. That means if you have trips planned for the following year that fall between those dates, you’ll already be covered by your existing annual travel insurance.

What is annual multi trip travel insurance?

Annual multi-trip travel insurance gives you cover for multiple holidays over a 12-month period, taking the hassle out of buying insurance for every trip individually. This can also make it more cost-effective if you’re planning on travelling a lot over a year.

What does multi trip travel insurance cover?

The cover you get from a multi-trip insurance policy will depend on the level of cover you choose. With Asda Money, that’s Value, Premium, and Superior. In general, you can expect multi-trip travel insurance to cover things like medical expenses if you get ill or injured on holiday, lost or damaged luggage, and protection for personal valuables.

How much is annual travel insurance?

How much you pay for your annual travel insurance will be determined by a number of factors, such as:

 

  • Medical history – if you have any pre-existing health conditions, your insurer is likely to increase your premium as there’s a higher chance of you making a claim.
  • Your age – travel insurance premiums increase as you get older as you are more likely to need cover for medical expenses.
  • Level of cover – the higher the level of cover, the more expensive it is likely to be. Always make sure you go for the level of coverage that suits your needs to avoid paying more for things that you won’t need.
