You’ve been planning this holiday for ages. You’ve booked the time off work and the kids will all be out of school on their breaks; you’ve downloaded all the apps, games, videos, books, and music that you will need to entertain everyone on the journey – you're ready to go, right? There's one last thing to do: purchase your single trip travel insurance.

While this may not seem like a big deal to some people, those who travel often understand the importance of a good policy to cover those one-off trips with the family. There is nothing worse than being unable to go on the holiday that you’ve been organising for ages - except the possibility of losing out on all that money and time that you have already put into booking it because of inadequate coverage. Oh yes, there are plenty of reasons to insure your trip.

Top reasons to get cover

  1. Missing your trip. This is the big one. Things can happen, that’s life; from missing an alarm to the traffic making you miss the train to an illness that prevents travel in the first place, there are reasons these things happen. So in case they do, it is best to get single trip travel insurance to cover you and yours, just so, if you do miss your journey, you are not left in the lurch.
  2. Lost baggage. So you’ve gotten your family to the airport, and have flown halfway across Europe for that perfect, sunny holiday by the beach, but your bags didn’t come along with you? These things certainly do happen. They are annoying, but with single trip travel insurance, your luggage can be covered so that in case it is lost or decides to go on its own holiday, you can rest assured that even though you may have to wear floral beach prints from the village shop, you will have the funds to cover you until the errant bags arrive.
  3. Medical emergencies. No one likes to consider the possibilities of becoming ill on a holiday, but knowing that you have cover you in case you or your family needs medical care is worth its weight in gold. By covering you for certain medical issues that you may encounter in a foreign country, you can get the help that you need to get well and go on with your holiday.
  4. Savings! When you book your trip for your entire family, booking single trip travel insurance for the entire group has its benefits. Some companies even provide a clause that allows children to be covered for free under the option of ‘family’ coverage. Though it may not be much in the way of grand-scheme-savings, every little bit helps when going on holiday.
