• Temporary/short-term travel insurance: for one trip
  If you only go on holiday once a year, you can take out travel insurance for the duration of your trip, subject to a maximum of 120 days.
• Long-term travel insurance: for all your trips over a one-year period
  If you take multiple trips over the course of a year, you’re best taking out travel insurance for the whole year. Long-term travel insurance covers all of your trips over a one-year period.
