Is single trip travel insurance for me?

Anyone who’s had their belongings stolen, lost their luggage, or fallen ill abroad will testify that travel insurance is not an optional extra – it’s a necessity.

You can get single trip travel insurance from just £5.50, a bargain price for a policy that is likely to cover you for up to £10million of medical costs.

It’s worth bearing in mind though, if you travel abroad more than twice a year, including weekend breaks, you might be better off getting an annual travel insurance policy.
