However. If you have several trips in mind for the year ahead, for example travelling to Europe and then the USA within 12 months. It may not be a cost-effective solution to purchase a single trip travel insurance to Europe, and a separate single trip travel insurance to the USA. Then Voyager's Annual Multi-trip Travel Insurance might be more suitable for you.
If you’re travelling for a longer period, where the duration of your holiday exceeds the maximum trip duration limit on the Short Stay policy, then take a look at our Long Stay policy which goes up 18 months (extendable to 24 months upon referral).

Cancellation or Curtailment
A Cancellation is where you are unable to start your trip, due to an insured reason. A Curtailment is where you have to end your trip earlier than expected, due to an insured reason.

Emergency Medical Expenses
Medical treatment in other countries can be very expensive.

Please Note: If you have pre-existing medical conditions and would like cover in case you need emergency medical treatment related to them, you will need to complete a medical screening to see if cover is available and pay the appropriate additional premium.
Baggage

Please Note: Your gadgets may not fall under the Baggage definition in the policy wording and you may need to also purchase the gadget cover Option to cover them.

If your departure from your home country is delayed for more than 12 hours and you choose to abandon your trip, instead of a payment for delay, you are covered for the cost of the trip under the Cancellation or Curtailment section of cover.
Missed Departure / Journey Disruption
Cover for additional travel and accommodation expenses in the event you miss the departure of your public transport for your trip, due to a specified reason as defined in the policy wording.
This section also covers, in the event of a Catastrophe (as defined in the policy wording), if you are forced to move from your pre-booked accommodation to allow you to continue your trip.
These are a few of the reasons why getting travel insurance is a good idea before you travel so that you are not left out of pocket should the unexpected happen. Furthermore, Voyager Plus Travel Insurance has a wide range of features and benefits, which are just not available on cheaper products, see the policy wording for full details.
