When should I buy travel insurance?

Ideally, you should buy travel insurance as soon as you’ve booked your holiday. If you’re taking out a Single Trip policy, cover for cancellation starts at the time you book the trip or pay the insurance premium, whichever is later.

Single Trip policies from Avanti can be bought up to 13 months in advance of your holiday, perfect for cruise holidays. If you have bought an Annual Multi-Trip policy, cancellation cover starts at the time that you book the trip or the first day of the period of cover as shown on your Validation Certificate, whichever is later.

A Avanti annual policy can be purchased up to 90 days before its intended start date.
