Why Long Stay Travel Insurance?

Long stay travel insurance is cover for a holiday where you’ll be travelling for any period up to 12 months and wish to travel with peace of mind. This type of insurance covers you for medical emergencies, which is vital to prevent unexpected medical bills and give you the support you need if you have any medical problems while you are away.

Sometimes a one or two-week holiday just isn’t enough! If you need time to take in the sights or soak up the sun, consider long stay travel insurance.

Read our helpful guide below to know what to look for in a long stay policy.

What is Long Stay Travel Insurance?

Long stay Travel Insurance is cover for a holiday where you’ll be travelling for any period up to 12 months. A quote for long term cover works the same way as single-trip Travel Insurance. So if you’re looking for Travel Insurance for 6 months, for example,  select ‘single trip’ quote, and enter the intended departure and return date of your trip. This will make sure you are given options for long stay Travel Insurance.

If you’re planning a number of trips throughout the year and will be returning home in between them, you may prefer Annual Multi-trip Travel Insurance. This policy will cover you for up to an unlimited number of trips for 12 months. However, your policy will limit the number of days you can travel on one trip to around 31-45 days, or for an additional cost, up to 55 days on AllClear Gold or Gold Plus policies.

Are you having an active holiday?

With more time comes more activities! But with Travel Insurance for longer trips, you will want to make sure you are covered for any activities. At AllClear, we can cover surfing, water skiing and windsurfing free of charge on AllClear Gold and Gold Plus policies. We also offer extra cover for Golf and Winter Sports for an additional premium.

Gadget Cover

If it’s a long stay, you may want more of your gadgets with you. We also wouldn’t blame you for wanting to take your fancy camera on holiday as well as your Ipad.

As an optional add on to your Long Trip Travel Insurance, Gadget cover can cover loss or theft of your camera, mobile phone, tablets and laptops. It’s important to remember that standard baggage cover often does not offer a high level of cover for your gadgets.
