Looking for travel insurance for a single trip?

If you’re only going away once in a 12 month period, then this type of cover is suitable and will give you peace of mind on your travels. Plan your trip with AllClear.

One in two (54%) travellers live with at least two medical conditions3. More than one in four (27%) have more than three medical conditions3. So, it’s essential that you buy Specialist Medical Travel insurance to cover you.

One trip travel insurance for a cruise

At least one in ten (14%4) of those we surveyed intend to enjoy a cruise this year. Travel Insurance for a cruise is essential. This type of cover also includes cruise specific benefits, such as:

  • Missed port departure
  • Cabin confinement
  • Itinerary change
  • Unused excursions
  • Cruise interruption

Travel insurance for a single trip and GHIC cover

If your one trip is a European getaway, applying for a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) would be sensible. However, Travel Insurance is still required. The scheme can provide emergency medical healthcare but doesn’t cover everything.

For example, the GHIC doesn’t cover repatriation (medical transport back to the UK); you can be left with a huge bill. Depending on the destination of your trip, the cost differs significantly. For example, repatriation from Spain to the UK is £18,000.
