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 issues with your travel documents. With our Aviva Signature travel insurance, you can get cover if you’re aged 16 to 79 and your one-off trip, including cruises (as long as you've told us about them), can last up to 120 days. We also cover UK holidays if you are away from home for at least two nights in a row, and you have either, pre-booked holiday accommodation in a commercially run premises, or prepaid bookings on public transport including flights or ferries.
However, two examples of when you won’t be covered are:
- any claim if you travel against the advice of the FCDO or do not comply with advice or measures which have been put in place by a government in the UK or overseas, quarantine rules or curfews
- any claim where the event, incident or circumstances already existed when you purchased your policy or booked your trip (whichever is later). For example, you’re aware of the serious illness of a close relative or travelling companion, which could reasonably be expected to affect your travel plans.

Important documents
What we need to know about your health
We need to know if you, or anyone covered, has had any diagnosed illness, injury, or disease in the 12 months before buying or renewing your cover, where they've:
- been prescribed medicine, including newly prescribed or repeat medication
- received or are waiting for medical treatment, investigations or tests
- been referred to, is under the care of, or has had an appointment with a specialist or consultant
- been admitted to hospital or had surgery
It’s really important that you tell us about any pre-existing medical conditions. If you don’t, we may refuse to pay a claim or withdraw cover entirely.
Medical treatment abroad can be very expensive. Travelling without cover for pre-existing conditions could lead to serious financial implications if you need treatment while you're on a trip. It could also mean that if you become ill before your trip, we may not pay a claim for cancelling the trip for any insured person.
Look at the Your health section of the policy wording for more information on what we need to know about pre-existing medical conditions and when you need to tell us.
Read our policy wording.
Pre-existing medical conditions
If we can cover a pre-existing medical condition we will, and this will be reflected in what you pay.
If we can't cover your pre-existing medical conditions or we can but you're not satisfied with the price, you might be able to get cover from a specialist medical insurer instead. The UK government lists these specialist insurers for you to check out on MoneyHelper.
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.
