Planning a trip abroad this year? Whether you’re going on a skiing trip with friends, a family beach holiday or a romantic weekend away, Direct Line has a single trip travel insurance policy that will meet your needs.

Valid for up to 90 days (if you are aged 60 or less; for over 60s the maximum duration is 42 days), a single trip policy provides cover for a number of eventualities. Your personal possessions are covered for up to £1,500 per person (subject to a total valuables limit of £250 and a single item limit of £250) and your personal money up to £500 per person (cash is covered up to £250 for an adult, £100 for a child on a Direct Line single).

Just as importantly, you’re covered for up to £5 million per person in medical and emergency expenses, up to £2 million per policy in personal liability, up to £25,000 per person in personal accident and £50,000 in legal expenses. There’s also up to £5,000 per person available if your holiday is cancelled or curtailed.

With our good deal better on overseas holiday insurance, we offer new-for-old cover, and we’ll cover your watches and sunglasses, which not all holiday insurance policies do. We’ll even let you do a range of activities on a one-off basis, including scuba diving, horse riding and white water rafting. As long as your hotel, holiday organiser or recognised provider has organised the activity, you are automatically covered (though please tell us if the main purpose of your holiday is to take part in a specific activity, so we can ensure you have the correct level of cover to meet your needs).

If you’re planning to visit Europe this year, Direct Line also offers free annual family insurance for new Home Buildings and Contents Insurance policy holders – the perfect deal to cover you at home and away.

While Direct Line’s single trip holiday insurance cover is great value, if you’re planning to do all these things this year, you might want to consider our annual travel insurance policy instead. Whatever your requirements, why not get a quote from us today?
