Best Travel Insurance Option?

Sit

I'm going to Dubai for 2 weeks in August and wondered if you could give me some advice when buying single trip travel insurance.

Thanks

Yes, read the policy to ensure it provides the cover you need. There is no one size fits all and what suits one person won't suit another.

You will probably need worldwide cover for Dubai.

You can get suggestions of companies to try by clicking Travel or Insurance at the top of the page.

Thanks for the reply.

In terms of when to start the policy and end the policy, is it always the day your flight departs and the day it returns or is it wise to start it the day before your flight departs and day after your flight returns?

Just wondering.

If it is a single trip policy you will have to state the start and end dates of your holiday. However make sure the policy actually start immediately so that you are covered for cancellation between buying the policy and the start of the holiday.

Travel insurance should be bought as soon as the travel is booked so that you are covered for accident or illness which might prevent you from travelling.
