What is extended trip travel insurance?
Extended trip or long stay travel insurance keeps you protected for a longer period than a typical single trip policy. So, if you’re planning a round-the-world adventure, long visit overseas or gap year, extended travel insurance should be an essential on your travel checklist.
Sainsbury’s Bank Extended Trip Travel Insurance covers UK travellers for a trip abroad for up to 366 days. Once you’re covered, you can keep the same quality cover wherever you go, no matter how long you decide to stay in each place.
