Single Trip Insurance is valid for a single journey which you intend to make, whether it be 7 days on a holiday to Spain, or 12 months or more travelling around the world. It’s a Single Trip, not a single country! Multi-Trip is designed for multiple trips from and back to your home country; useful for example if you have a winter sports holiday, a summer holiday and maybe the odd weekend abroad. The maximum duration of each trip, as far as we’re concerned, cannot exceed 30 or 70 days, depending on which policy you take out. In our case, Backpacker Insurance is the same as Single Trip, but other insurers may have a cut down version of their Single Trip policy to sell to "Backpackers".
