Thanks to last-minute deals and budget airlines, ‘book and go’ holidays are on the increase. So you want to make sure you can ‘go direct’ with your travel insurance, too. With Direct Line, it’s quick and easy to apply for travel insurance directly online and buy a policy straight away.

Whether you book a holiday months in advance or have just made the decision to travel tomorrow, ensuring you have adequate travel insurance means you can go with peace of mind. Direct Line offers three types of Travel Insurance: Single Trip, Annual Multi Trip and Discoverer, all of which can be bought instantly on our website.

So you can find the Travel Insurance that’s best for you, all three of our policies are available to view online. You’ll find they all offer cover for: personal possessions up to £1,500 (£1,000 for Discoverer) with a single article limit of £250 and a total valuables limit of £250, personal money up to £500 (cash limit is £250 per adult, £100 per child on single trip policies), medical and emergency expenses abroad up to £5 million per person, cancellation and curtailment up to £5,000 per person (£3,000 for Discoverer), personal accident up to £25,000 and liability up to £2 million, delayed departure up to £200 per person (not available for Discoverer), loss of passport up to £250 per person and legal expenses up to £50,000 per person.

Which direct travel insurance cover you choose depends on the type of trip you are taking. For one-off weekend breaks, which may very well be booked the day before, Single Trip Travel Insurance could be for you. If, however, you know you travel several times a year, it’s worth opting for Annual Multi Trip Travel Insurance which would save you money over the course of the year. This gives you cover for trips up to 42 days and a total of 120 days a year. Discoverer Travel Insurance is most suitable for those intending to take a gap year, or an extended break as it runs for 12 months duration for European policies, 18 months for worldwide policies.

Direct Line also makes it easy for your partner, children or a group of you to get travel insurance together and straight away. Cover your family on your Annual Multi Trip policy for example, and they’ll be able to travel independently at a moment’s notice too, even without you. (Although please check the terms and conditions of the policy for any provisos that may be in place to ensure you’re covered).

Read through the policy documents and you’ll see special additional direct travel insurance cover options such as winter sports cover, plus a list of covered activities you can try during your holiday. For all our cover options, you’ll need to specify the geographical area you will be travelling to – along with your personal details, a note of who needs to be insured, and any optional extras you may require. This is as direct a process as we could make it: simply log on to the Travel Insurance section of the Direct Line site, click on 'get a travel insurance quote' , and fill out the online form following the easy steps.

To make things even better Direct Line now has an online route planner to help you ‘travel direct’ in the UK and in parts of Europe, too. Not only can you plan your journey step by step and check where your destination is on the map, there’s also an option to find tourist spots and places of interest along the way.
