“I looked at many sites and should have come straight to AllClear. We used them before for our Egypt trip. I had the best deal and fantastic service when y mother was taken ill. I decided to take years cover and go away again after the cruise. Best value for money, easy to complete forms, straightforward questioning, no catches. BRILLIANT. I would highly recommend them as I did to my travelling companion who’s on the same trip.” – Ms Curtis.

Is it best to buy a single or an annual multi-trip policy for Egypt?

Whether buying a single or annual multi-trip policy is best for you depends on how often you intend to travel during the next 12 months. If you are going on holiday multiple times throughout the year, an annual multi-trip policy could work out better value for you. With an annual multi-trip policy, you can travel as many times as you like throughout the period of your insurance. There are, however, limits on the number of days you can be away for any one trip, which for some providers also depends upon your age.
