Travel Insurance Done Differently
Planning a short break to Europe or an exciting trip further afield? Whether it's a weekend getaway to France or a theme park adventure in the USA, don’t forget to pack travel insurance.
While no one likes to think about things going wrong, having the right cover means you can enjoy your trip with confidence, knowing you're protected against the unexpected. For instance, having to cut short your trip, missing your flight, or falling ill while abroad.
At Voyager, our short stay travel insurance—also known as single trip travel insurance—provides cover for one specific trip, giving you peace of mind wherever your travels take you.

What Else Does Short Stay Travel Insurance Cover?
When planning a trip, you want the freedom to explore without worry. That’s why our Short Stay Travel Insurance provides cover for trips of up to 62 days, depending on your age and destination. Plus, with no upper age limit, this policy is available to travellers of all ages.
We also understand that falling ill abroad can be unsettling, especially if you’re unsure how to see a doctor while away from home. That’s why our policy includes 24/7 access to a doctor while you’re on holiday. With this you can speak to a 24/7 doctor while abroad as standard. To find out more about this service, click here.
