Benefits of Multi-trip Travel Insurance for the Frequent Traveller
Posted on | December 22, 2009 | 9 Comments
Multi-trip travel insurance is also known as annual travel insurance. This type of policy is fairly self-explanatory. It can provide insurance coverage for you for a whole year from the moment you apply for the policy. This plan is ideal if you are planning to take several holiday trips and participate in multiple annual sporting events. It can also be very useful if you frequently travel to attend to your business deals and transactions.
You can save a lot if you choose to get an annual travel insurance policy. This is also the biggest benefit you can get from multi-trip travel insurance. Although annual travel insurance would be more expensive than single trip insurance, you will be able to get multiple coverage from a single policy instead of getting one policy for each of your trips. Normally, the cost of annual travel insurance starts from £18.20. This basic plan will be able to provide comprehensive medical cover as well as coverage for included sporting activities.
Multi-trip travel insurance is also very convenient for you as you will not need to contact the insurance office every time you book a trip or plan a holiday vacation. With annual travel insurance in place, you can simply plan your travel and holiday trip without worrying about insurance coverage. Multi-trip travel insurance usually has unlimited cover for each of your trips, so simply pack your bags and gear and go on your way. You are guaranteed to have sufficient protection for most problems that may happen during your travels.
Multi-trip travel insurance can also protect your family travelling with you. A basic package will include free coverage for children who will accompany you during your holiday vacation. You can also get sufficient extra coverage for sports activities. You can also choose if you would like special add-on coverage for winter sports activities such as skiing and snowboarding. One big advantage is you can get 24-hour support services from the emergency services if you take advantage of an annual or multi-trip travel insurance package.
Typical multi-trip travel insurance is unlimited so you get protection every time you travel. But you have to know the options you have for the duration of each cover. Normally, you can have 31, 45, and 60 days trip cover. So you should carefully determine the duration of your stay in a single vacation place in order to avoid inconvenience due to having misread the terms of trip coverage. You can also have the option to transfer the cover to a companion if ever you have to cancel your trip or cut your holiday shorter than expected.
Multi-trip travel insurance provides financial security, convenience, and is very cost-effective. You should get a plan that is suitable for your yearly or annual travel itineraries. Getting annual travel insurance will eliminate the danger of forgetting to get coverage for your trip. Not only will you save money and time if you get annual travel insurance, you can also save yourself from the hassle of filling out insurance policy forms every time you go on a trip.

I think that you will find a great deal on Moneysupermarket.com thats where I got my travel insurance, and they actually had to pay out on my policy as I ended up in a French hospital.
My insurance was about 40pounds, and it was for annual insurance! I think from memory you could go away for up to 94 days at a time, or 17days at a time if you included winter sports.
Hope this helps – just remember to read the small print about how many consecutive days away from the UK you are covered for! Happy Travels!

You can get a refund if your insurance covers illness as a reason for cancellation. Different policies cover different contingencies. The way you would prove illness is by a note from your physician.
InsureMyTrip.com is one site that has comparisons among policies. I'm sure there are others.

There are some good travel insurance companies. Get ones that pay your expenses or pay you in cash. Dont get ones that make you take another trip or give you a voucher to travel again with them.
I only buy insurance if the trip is WAY more than I can afford to lose.
Read the fine print of the policies before you purchase.

It could very well be true. Although they are different countries to where you are, we are in the UK and when we book to go to Ireland the company we book with insists on having our insurance details. Besides, as the first answerer says…they would be daft to travel without it as the cost of treatment is far more than the cost of the insurance. Accidents do happen…believe me, I broke an elbow last year, and a few weeks after that was healed I broke my foot…if I had been abroad I would have been in sh*t street without insurance!

Here are some links-
I had a similar situation- I was living in the Caymans Islands, no longer a Canadian resident, and wanted to travel for the summer. But every policy required that Canadian citizens be insured in their home privince, which I no longer have as non-resident. IMG was the only one I found, but as you DO have Canadian insurance, this will be easy for you. There are lots of short-term plans.
