Travel insurance terms explained
Single-trip cover
Covers one holiday from the day you leave home until you return.
It can be a good choice if you travel once or twice a year.
Annual multi-trip cover
Covers multiple trips over 12 months.
Most policies limit how long each trip can be. It may be worth considering if you travel several times a year.
Excess
This is the amount you pay towards a claim.
Your insurer pays the rest, up to the policy limits. A lower excess often means a higher price.
Defaqto rating
Defaqto gives policies a rating from 1 to 5 stars.
The rating looks at the level of cover provided. It does not measure price or value for money.
Pre-existing medical condition
This is a medical condition you had before buying your policy.
Most insurers ask you to tell them about these conditions. This helps make sure your cover is valid.
