What is single trip travel insurance?

Single trip travel insurance is designed for one-off holidays. It covers you for a round trip, from the moment you leave home until you return. 

 

With Staysure, policies are available up to age 85 and can include most pre-existing medical conditions. You’ll also be covered if you have to cancel or cut your trip short unexpectedly. 

 

If you’re planning several holidays in a year, you may find our annual multi-trip cover works out as better value. 

 

What does single trip travel insurance cover?

Your single trip policy covers you as soon as it’s in place – starting with cancellation protection from the day you buy it. Other benefits apply during your trip, including: 

 

  • emergency medical treatment and repatriation 
  • lost, stolen or delayed baggage, money or passports 
  • travel delays and missed departures 
  • trip curtailment if you need to come home early

 

By declaring any pre-existing medical conditions when you get your quote, you’ll also be protected against unexpected health costs abroad. 

Built-in medical cover 

Your medical needs shouldn’t stop you from exploring the world. If you have pre-existing conditions – like asthma, diabetes or high blood pressure – we can normally include them in your travel insurance.  

 

When you get a quote, you’ll complete a short medical questionnaire so we can tailor your cover.  

 

With Staysure, you’ll get:  

 

  • emergency medical and repatriation cover included as standard  
  • 24/7 medical emergency helpline, wherever you are in the world  
  • A discount on medical loading costs if you have private medical insurance with coverage when abroad of a minimum of €55.000 

 

Even if you already have private medical insurance, it won’t cover trip cancellation, travel delay, missed departures or lost, stolen or damaged baggage. That’s where we step in.

Extras to match your holiday plans

Every holiday is different – so your single trip policy should fit the way you like to travel. With Staysure, you can add extras such as: 

 

  • Cruise cover – choose this when buying if your trip is a cruise, with protection for itinerary changes, missed ports, cabin confinement and medical care at sea. 
  • Winter sports cover – available on single trips if you’re aged 70 or under (for annual Comprehensive, it’s already included for 2 trips, 21 days combined). 
  • Excess waiver – remove the policy excess so you won’t pay towards approved claims. 
  • Single item cover – increase protection for valuable belongings up to €1,000 each. 
  • 100-day upgrade – extend one Comprehensive trip from 50 days to 100 days (for travellers aged 70 or under). 

 

Your policy can be tailored to your destination, health needs and holiday style – so whether you’re taking a cruise, a skiing break or a longer adventure, you’ll have the right support every step of the way.

How much does single trip travel insurance cost?

Single trip cover is often the best-value choice if you’re only taking 1 or 2 holidays in a year. 

 

The price depends on: 

 

  • your age 
  • any pre-existing medical conditions 
  • where you’re travelling to 
  • trip length 
  • optional extras (like cruise or winter sports cover) 

 

What’s not covered?

Single trip travel insurance protects you when things don’t go to plan – but some situations aren’t included. Your policy won’t cover: 

 

  • travel for planned medical procedures 
  • incidents linked to alcohol or controlled substances 
  • choosing not to travel 
  • pre-existing medical conditions not declared on your policy 
  • strike action known at the time of booking 

 

Always check your policy documents carefully so you understand what is and isn’t covered. 

Going on more than one trip this year?

If you’re planning more than one holiday, an annual multi-trip policy could be better value than buying separate single trip cover. 

 

With annual cover you’ll get: 

 

  • protection for multiple holidays within 12 months under one policy 
  • the same benefits every time you travel – including medical cover, cancellations and baggage protection 
  • flexibility to choose the cover level and extras that suit your travel style 

 

It could save you both money and time. Get a quick quote today and see if annual multi-trip travel insurance is the smarter option for your plans.
