What's The Difference Between Single Trip and Annual Travel Insurance?

A Single Trip Plan covers you for up to 180 days overseas; conversely, an Annual Travel Plan offers year-round coverage.

Note, however, that each trip under the Annual Travel Plan cannot exceed 90 days at a time.

To be more cost-efficient, you might want to first consider estimating how many holidays you intend to take throughout the year - and the length of each trip.
