longstay travel insurance

if you’re planning a trip abroad that lasts more than a month, whether it’s for an extended break in the sun or to enjoy some time exploring off the beaten track, then a longstay travel insurance policy may be the right type of cover for you.

longstay travel insurance policies are ideal for students, backpackers, those taking a gap year or on a sabbatical, those wanting to take part in voluntary or charity work abroad, and those who just want to escape for an extended well-earned break. with cover ranging from 1 month up to 18 months (depending on your age and destination of choice), we offer a variety of policies to suit any prolonged trip away.
