Types of travel insurance

At Aviva, we understand that how we travel has changed, but you can still enjoy peace of mind with our travel or holiday insurance - now including Covid-19 medical expenses and cancellation cover. Find out more information about our single trip, annual multi-trip and backpacker insurance policies.

  • Single trip insurance

    A Single-Trip policy covers you for one holiday of up to 31 days. To get a Single-Trip quote, simply choose the number of days you are away, or click on the calendar and select the dates you leave and return. Remember that if your holiday is 7 nights, you need 8 days cover, and if you are away for 14 nights, you need 15 days cover.

  • Multi-trip insurance

    An Annual Multi-Trip policy could save you money if you are going on holiday more than once this year. It offers cover for up to 90 days travel in the year, but no holiday can be longer than 31 days. With an Annual Multi-Trip policy, you can also be covered for holidays in Ireland provided that you spend at least two nights in accommodation you booked before your departure.

  • Backpacker cover

    A trip abroad, devoted to leisure, rest and relaxation or work, where travel begins and ends in Ireland.

Making a Claim

There are several reasons you may need to claim under your policy. You can read about the most common ones here.

Covid-19 - What we cover

It's important that you know what Aviva Travel Insurance will and won't cover for Covid-19 so that you can decide whether this policy meets your needs.

We'll cover cancellation costs if you or someone you're travelling with:

  • Contracts Covid-19 before your trip.
  • Is required to quarantine on orders of a treating doctor/HSE, and the period of quarantine goes past your original departure date.

Important Note: Covid-19 "positive" test must be certified in writing as specifically relating to You or Your Travelling Companion(s) by a test that is recognised by the Republic of Ireland Government, including such a test that is carried out by a licensed pharmacy, a licensed laboratory or the treating Doctor.

What Covid-19 cover do you have when you’re on holiday:

  • We will cover overseas medical and repatriation (the cost to get you home) expenses provided you are not travelling to areas where the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) allocates a security status of "Avoid non-essential travel" or "Do not travel".
  • We'll also cover any additional accommodation (room only) and travelling home costs you may have if you are required, on the orders of a Doctor, to quarantine on holiday, if the period of quarantine goes past your original return date.

At Aviva, we recommend that you follow the advice of the Department of Foreign Affairs.
