Guide to Multi Trip Travel Insurance

Multi Trip travel insurance is another name for annual travel insurance and basically means what annual travel insurance permits you to do and that is to take multiple trips through out the year.

Multi Trip travel insurance is ideal for the frequent traveller and for families or persons that travel abroad more than twice a year as the cost of single trip travel insurance works out more expensive particularly for the family, so it makes economic sense to have a Multi Trip travel insurance policy to save money and time.

Multi- trip travel insurance has become very popular over the last 5 years since the advent of low cost budget airlines the number of holidays people take have doubled as flight costs have tumbled to an all time low.

We as a nation are travelling more often to more obscure locations and doing far more exotic and hazardous activities especially the younger generation which seek out excitement and adventure with extreme holidays to participate in activities such as white water rafting, bungee jumping, glacier walking, mountain trekking, lugging, and other even more obscure activities.

The increased levels of travel to far off and distant locations combined with hazardous activities means it is even more important to take out Multi Trip travel insurance which is appropriate and provides protection for medical expenses in case an accident occurs.

The insurers have responded with more specific polices designed for the new lifestyle we lead and the myriad of policies has led to a confused market place with far more providers entering the market place.

It is now possible to buy Multi Trip travel insurance and other forms of travel insurance from high street travel agents, credit card companies, banks, building societies, post offices, house insurance companies and mortgage lenders are also offering Multi Trip travel policies as sweeteners to deals.

Its not just the younger generation that has more time to travel the biggest spenders on travel are the older generation 55+ who have more time on their hands and with relations often half way round the world they too look for longer trips and certainly more holidays and can afford to take cruise packages as well as long haul flights to Canada, New Zealand and Australia to visit relatives and dependents. Multi Trip travel policies can be a more economic travel policy but not always as the older travellers from 65 and above can find the cost of a Multi Trip travel policy too high compared to a single trip policy so it pays to compare.

Before you buy your Multi Trip policy you ought to be familiar with the various conditions as with any crowded market place it pays to shop around as prices vary wildly and Multi Trip travel policies can vary from £35 to £150 per year for a single person and £75 to over £250 for a family policy so you need to consider facts carefully.

Other considerations that are important are the levels of cover offered and the excesses you have to pay in the event of a claim, and it doesn't always mean the more you pay the more you get so take time to compare policies, there are even comparison web sites where you can see products side by side which will help you decide.

Any one with a pre-existing medical condition should consider a policy that will pre- screen them for their condition and for an additional premium cover them for medical expenses or cancellation should they need to claim. Multi Trip travel polices are probably the best buy as they last for 12 months and renewable just like your car or home insurance. You don't need to worry about booking the insurance every time you want to take a trip at the last minute, you can simply pack your bags and go knowing you have cover and peace of mind.
