We know that your plans can change and sometimes you have to extend your trip. That’s why we’ve designed simple and flexible travel insurance that you can buy online, anytime, from anywhere in the world.
If you buy a policy while travelling, you may have to wait up to 72 hours for full cover to apply.
But, all policies cover you straight away if you're injured in an accident after you buy a policy. And if you buy a policy before you current ones expires, you'll have continuous cover.
Your policy wording will have full details to understand the cover, limits and exclusions, so make sure you read it before you buy.
