How our premiums are calculated
Travel Insurance calculates the cost or premium of a travel insurance policy by considering a number of factors including, but not limited to:
- The length of your trip
- Age of the traveller(s)
- The travel plan selected
- The region/s in which you will be travelling
- Whether a single-person or multi-person policy is purchased
- Options and extras selected including extra cover such as Snow Sports cover
Single and Multi Trip Travel Insurance

At V Travel Insurance we also offer flexible single and multi trip policy options, to allow you to take out the most effective and affordable plan for you. Both types of policies are very similar in what they cover and the levels of protection they offer, but if you are a frequent traveller then you have the option of saving money by taking out multi trip travel insurance.
Here’s how they differ:
Single trip travel insurance needs to be purchased each time you travel. So if you only plan trips once in a while, then single trip travel insurance will ensure you are fully covered for your time away.
But if you travel more frequently than once or twice a year, multi trip travel insurance offers fantastic value for money and saves you having to take out a new travel insurance policy each time you go away. It covers both domestic and overseas trips, and gives you the option to cover your partner and children independently of each other so you can all travel on your own.
Simply choose the region you want to be covered in and when you would like to 12 months cover to start from. If you plan on skiing or snowboarding we have even better news! Our annual multi-trip policies include up to 21 days of snow sports cover at no additional costs.
Our affordable policies cover the following situations:
- Medical expenses and emergencies
- Flight cancellations, delays and curtailment
- Loss, theft or damage to your baggage and belongings
- Sports and recreational activities
- Catastrophes and terrorism
- Working holidays and volunteering
- And much more! View our Summary of Cover to see what is included with every international travel insurance plan.
Important Tip:
Make sure you select the correct area or areas of travel that you will be visiting when applying for international travel insurance, to ensure that you are fully covered wherever you are in the world.
This should include any stopovers – even if just for one night – and any destinations that you visit as part of a cruise holiday.
