What’s covered with Single Trip Travel Insurance?

With Single Trip Travel Insurance, you would be covered for medical expenses, cancellation or curtailment, and loss of belongings. However, the amounts you are covered for and the specifics of what these things entail will depend on the level of cover you take out. You can review all of our policy documents to find out which one would be most suited to your needs.

Does Single Trip Travel Insurance cover cancellation?

Yes, your Single Trip Travel Insurance policy will cover cancellation of your trip – or if you have to cut it short – in some circumstances. Those circumstances even include cancelling or curtailing a trip due to coronavirus in some cases. You’ll find full details of what’s covered and what isn’t in the policy wording.

Will I need extra cover with Single Trip Travel Insurance?

If you take out a single trip policy you’ll travel insured to the level of cover you choose when you apply. You may need to take out additional cover if you’re taking part in certain activities, like skiing or going on a cruise. Because these types of trip involve a different level of risk for insurers, this needs to be reflected in your travel insurance and is subject to an additional premium.

There are some adventure sports and activities that are covered as standard on your Single Trip Travel Insurance and others that aren’t. It’s important to fully understand your policy document so you don’t become involved in something that you’re not covered for.

What are the advantages of Single Trip Travel Insurance?

What different cover levels are there for Single Trip Travel Insurance?

We can offer you a choice of insurance at three different levels: Economy, Standard and Premier. We also offer Lite, Prime and Elite which are designed to allow us to offer cover to more customers with existing medical conditions. If you decide on a Premier policy you will be able to enjoy complimentary airport lounge access if your flight is delayed for two or more hours. >

When is the best time to start Single Trip Travel Insurance?

It’s often best to buy Single Trip Travel Insurance as soon as you book any part of your trip. Cover for cancellation won’t begin until you purchase it. The start date needs to be the start date of your trip, but by taking it out straight away, should something happen between now and the start of your trip, you can be covered for cancellation in some circumstances. It’s another thing sorted and out of the way, and one less thing to forget as you get nearer to your trip and things get busy.

How much is Single Trip Travel Insurance?

The price you pay for Single Trip Travel Insurance really depends on what you need your policy to cover. When you get a quote from Post Office we’ll ask what level of cover you need for all of the things you might like to protect, or issues you may want to safeguard against, when the time comes to travel. So we’ll work out a competitive price for that cover based on the options you choose.

Is there a discount for students?

Yes, there is. We’ve partnered with Student Beans to offer a student discount. To claim it simply log in with your Student Beans account here. If you don’t have an account you’ll need to register for one here and verify you’re a student first. You’ll be given a unique code, which you’ll need to enter into the promotion box that appears when getting your travel insurance quote. The discount will be taken off your quote total.

Travel Insurance FAQs

Make sure you have right cover

EHIC is good, but not good enough

You may have heard about the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). It will give you some state-provided medical healthcare for less than you'd otherwise pay if you're travelling in Europe. But travel insurance will provide cover for much more, like cancellation, your luggage, and medical repatriation to the zhptddz.com. Why not check out our policy for more details?

Have cover with your bank or credit card?

You may think you have cover already. Perhaps because your bank or credit card includes it as a perk. But have a quick look at the policy to see if it gives you the cover you need. Always make sure you read the terms and conditions of any policy so that it is suitable to you and the trip you are taking. Also that you're not paying for something you don't need.

Medical conditions

If you have medical conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes it's very important that you declare these to us, including any medication that you're taking, to ensure you have the right cover in place at the time you need it.

Post Office Travel Insurance covers most pre-existing medical conditions. Get a quote today to see if we can cover you. If you have a serious pre-existing medical condition that Post Office Travel Insurance cannot offer cover for, the Money and Pensions Scheme (MaPS) have launched a directory listing companies that may be able to help you. The directory can be accessed by either clicking here or calling 0800 138 7777.
