What is single trip travel insurance
Single trip travel insurance covers you for just one trip and can help protect against unexpected events that might pop up – from a sudden illness to a stolen passport. With our Aviva Signature travel insurance, you can get cover if you’re aged 16 to 79 and your one-off trip can last up to 120 days. We also cover UK holidays if you’ve got accommodation pre-booked for at least two nights in a row.
However, two examples of when you won’t be covered are:
- travelling against the advice of the Foreign, Commenwealth & Development Office (FDCO)
- needing to cancel your trip due to an incident or circumstance which had already happened, or was going to happen, at the time your policy started and could reasonably be expected to affect your travel plans

Important documents
What we need to know about your health
It’s important to let us know about any existing medical conditions or we might not be able to pay out for claims relating to them. We need to know if anyone covered by your policy has had any illness, injury, or disease in the 12 months before purchasing the policy where they’ve:
- been prescribed medication, including new or repeat prescriptions
- received or are waiting for medical treatment, tests, or investigations
- been referred to, or under the care of a specialist
- been admitted to hospital or had surgery.
Look at the Your health section of the policy wording for more information on what we need to know about existing medical conditions and when you need to tell us.
Existing medical conditions
If we can cover an existing medical condition, your price will include the cost of covering this. However, sometimes we can’t offer cover for certain medical conditions. If this happens, or you’re not happy with the price we quoted, you may be able to get cover from a specialist medical insurer instead.
The Government’s MoneyHelper service has a list of these insurers. You can go to the Money Helper website or call 0800 138 7777.
We work with a specialist travel insurance provider, All Clear, who may be able to cover you. You can contact them on 0800 848 8693 or head to their website.
If you have symptoms that haven’t been diagnosed yet, you may need to wait for a diagnosis before you’re able to get cover.
Calls to 0800 numbers from UK landlines and mobiles are free.
