Longer Stay Travel Insurance

Get cover. Go Travelling.

What is Longer Stay travel insurance?

Longer Stay is designed for single trips of up to 540 days for travellers aged up to 65. It suits people who are heading abroad for an extended break, slow travelling through several countries, or spending time working or volunteering overseas.

Compared with a standard holiday policy, Longer Stay focuses on the things that matter during long periods away. It includes many sports and adventure activities as standard, and gives you core protection throughout your trip.

If you’re travelling primarily for sport or competition, you may want to compare Longer Stay with our Sports+ cover.

What does it cover?

Depending on your trip and circumstances, Longer Stay can help with:

  • Emergency medical expenses abroad and getting you home if you become seriously ill or injured.
  • Lost, stolen or damaged baggage and personal belongings.
  • Costs if you need to cancel your trip before you go or cut it short after you've started your journey.
  • Travel disruption including delays, cancellations and missed departures.
  • Personal liability cover if you are held legally responsible for accidental injury or property damage (this may be excluded for some activities).

You can also tailor your policy with optional add ons such as Gadget, Winter Sports and Rental Vehicle Excess Waiver. These give you extra protection if your longer trip involves tech, snow sports or hiring a car.
