Travel Insurance Made Easy: Get a Quote and Buy Online in Minutes

Whether you’re planning a relaxing beach holiday, a winter skiing adventure, or a once-in-a-lifetime cruise, having the right travel insurance in place gives you peace of mind from the moment you book. And now, it’s easier than ever to protect your trip, thanks to the new online quote and buy portal from Greenfield Insurance.

We’ve launched a quick and easy way for travellers to compare, customise and buy travel insurance in just a few minutes. From single trips to annual multi-trip cover — and with a range of add-ons including cruise, winter sports, golf and even sports travel insurance — you can build a policy that fits your journey perfectly.

Here’s everything you need to know about how it works, what’s covered, and how to choose the right type of cover for your travel plans.

What is Travel Insurance and Why Do You Need It?

Travel insurance provides financial protection if something goes wrong before or during your trip. This could include anything from needing emergency medical treatment abroad to trip cancellations, lost luggage, or delays that cause you to miss connections.

Even with the best planning, travel can be unpredictable. Things like flight cancellations, bad weather, stolen belongings or sudden illness can quickly turn your dream holiday into a nightmare — and without insurance, the costs can be significant.

Many people assume their bank card, EHIC/GHIC, or airline will cover emergencies. However, in many cases, they don’t go far enough. A comprehensive travel insurance policy steps in to cover the gaps.

Buy Travel Insurance Online – Quick, Simple & Secure

Our new quote and buy portal makes finding the right travel insurance policy easier than ever. You enter a few details about your trip, including where you’re going, how long for, and who’s travelling, and you’ll be presented with a range of policy options to suit your needs and budget.

You can customise your policy by adding extra cover depending on what you’ll be doing on your trip, and get everything sorted in one go. There’s no need to speak to an agent or wait for paperwork. It’s all done online, securely, in just a few clicks.

Single Trip Travel Insurance

If you’re going on a one-off holiday, short break, or business trip, single trip travel insurance is a cost-effective option that provides cover for the specific dates of your journey.

This type of policy typically covers:

• Emergency medical treatment and hospital bills
• Lost, stolen or damaged baggage
• Delayed or cancelled flights
• Missed connections
• Personal liability
• Trip cancellations due to illness, redundancy or other reasons

It’s ideal if you travel occasionally and want cover that’s tailored to the specific countries and activities in your itinerary.

You can also add extra protection, such as winter sports cover if you’re skiing, or cruise cover if you’re setting sail.

Annual Multi-Trip Travel Insurance

If you take multiple holidays or business trips throughout the year, annual travel insurance (also known as multi-trip cover) can save both time and money.

With this type of policy, you’re covered for unlimited trips within a 12-month period — perfect if you like spontaneous weekend getaways or need to travel regularly for work.

Key benefits include:

• No need to take out a new policy each time you travel
• Often more cost-effective than buying multiple single-trip policies
• You can still customise the cover to include extras like cruises or sports

It’s worth noting that most annual policies have a limit on the length of each individual trip (typically 31 or 60 days), so be sure to check this if you’re planning longer stays.

Optional Add-Ons: Tailor Your Cover to Your Trip

No two holidays are the same, which is why our policies can be customised with optional extras to give you the right level of cover. Here’s a closer look at the most popular add-ons:

Cruise Cover

Standard travel insurance often doesn’t include cruise-specific events — such as missed port departures, itinerary changes, or being confined to your cabin due to illness.

With cruise cover, you’ll have additional protection for things like:

• Cabin confinement
• Missed shore excursions
• Cruise itinerary changes
• Emergency medical evacuation at sea

It’s a must-have for anyone booking a cruise, especially longer or multi-country itineraries.

Winter Sports Cover

Heading to the mountains? Whether you’re skiing, snowboarding, or just enjoying the alpine scenery, a winter sports cover is essential.

This add-on covers:

• Ski equipment (owned or hired)
• Lift passes
• Piste closure due to poor weather
• Off-piste skiing with a guide
• Mountain rescue and helicopter evacuation

Medical claims from skiing holidays are among the most expensive, so this cover is worth considering.

Golf Cover

If you’re travelling with your clubs and planning a few rounds abroad, golf travel insurance helps protect your gear and your plans.

It typically includes:

• Cover for lost, stolen or damaged clubs and bags
• Protection for green fees if illness or injury stops you from playing
• Hole-in-one cover (for prize claims)

Golf insurance can be added to both single and annual policies.

Sports Travel Insurance

Planning an active holiday? Whether it’s scuba diving, surfing, cycling, hiking, or horse riding, sports travel insurance offers protection for a wide range of activities, both recreational and competitive.

Depending on the policy, you can get cover for:

• Injuries sustained while participating in sports
• Specialist equipment (such as bikes or boards)
• Cancellations due to event disruption
• Personal liability if you accidentally injure someone else

Some sports (like paragliding, scuba diving beyond a certain depth, or contact sports) may need a higher level of cover, so be sure to check the policy details and let us know what you’ll be doing.

Going to Europe? Why Insurance Still Matters Post-Brexit

It’s a common misconception that having a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or the newer Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) is enough when travelling in the EU. These cards provide access to state healthcare at a reduced cost (or sometimes for free), but they don’t cover private medical treatment, repatriation, or non-medical issues like theft or delays.

A comprehensive travel insurance policy offers the complete package, giving you financial protection that the EHIC/GHIC cannot.

How to Get Started

Getting covered couldn’t be easier. Just head to our quote and buy portal, enter your trip details, and choose the level of cover that’s right for you. You can compare options, add extras, and complete your purchase securely online in minutes.

Whether you’re heading off on a one-time getaway or travelling multiple times a year, there’s a travel insurance policy to match — and it’s all just a few clicks away.
