Cheap Travel Insurance

Single trip and annual travel insurance policies available.

Our single trip travel insurance is a great option if you're looking for insurance for one holiday. A single trip policy will cover you for one trip up to 365 days.

If you're planning on taking more than one trip in a year, you may want to consider taking out an annual multi-trip travel insurance policy. This annual policy insures you for an unlimited number of trips throughout the 12 month policy period, given that each trip does not exceed 45 days, and could save you the money and the hassle of having to take out a brand new policy for each individual trip. Our annual trip insurance also covers you both abroad and for UK trips.

Medical travel insurance

Holiday Extras is a medical insurance specialist, featuring on the Money Advice Service (MAS) travel insurance directory, which the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) has confirmed meets its criteria for addition to the 'medical cover firm directory'. If you have a serious medical condition or multiple conditions, we will endeavour to find a policy that both covers your needs and suits your exacting requirements.

With a Holiday Extras policy, you can get up to £15 million worth of medical insurance should anything happen to you while abroad. While this initally might seem like an enormous amount, and maybe even unnecessary for you, the cost health care abroad is wildly more expensive than it is at home in the UK. If you currently have a pre-existing medical condition, or have previously had one, then you will need to declare your condition(s) via our confidentail medical screening process..

We will consider all medical conditions and offer cover for the majority of pre-existing conditions. This includes all forms of cancer.
