Calls to 03 numbers cost the same as calls to standard UK landlines (01 or 02). That means: From landlines, around 2p–10p per minute - often included in your call package. From mobiles: around 10p–40p per minute, usually included in your bundled minutes too. So in most cases, if you've got inclusive minutes, there's nothing extra to pay.

Why choose single travel insurance?


Cost-effective for occasional travellers

Single-trip insurance may be more cost-effective for those who don't travel often (such as once a year) as you only pay for coverage for one trip.

Less long-term commitment

Single-trip policies do not require an annual commitment. This makes them a great choice for travellers who don't know when, or if they'll be travelling again in the future.

Great for longer
trips

Most annual policies only cover you for 31 days at a time. Planning on travelling for longer? Our single-trip policies cover for up to 365 consecutive days.

Tailored coverage for specific trips

You can customise a single trip policy to suit the specific needs and risks of your trip. This is great for trips like an extreme sports holiday.

Travel Insurance with Medical Conditions

It's important to get the right level of cover for your trip, especially when travelling with pre-existing medical conditions. We believe everyone deserves a hassle-free holiday. That's why we consider all medical conditions.

When booking travel insurance including pre-existing medical conditions, you'll need to declare any conditions that you have. This can be done through our simple online screening. Our friendly UK-based team are also on hand to help, should you need it. To find out more, visit our page dedicated to travelling with medical conditions.
