International travel insurance

Cover for your overseas adventures

Even when you’re in the early planning stages of your trip, it’s important to consider taking out travel insurance.

That's because as long as you buy your AA Travel Insurance policy before you start travelling, cover for cancellation costs begins straight away. So, if something happens in the lead-up to your trip, we can be there to help you. With international travel insurance, you’ll be supported 24/7 while travelling, with help just a phone call away.

Our three plans - EssentialsComprehensive, and Annual Multi-Trip, have been designed with flexibility in mind, and provide different benefits and limits. Get an instant online quote

Cover options

The Comprehensive plan offers higher claim limits for certain benefits, a broader range of benefits and more optional cover variations.

The Essentials plan is designed for those seeking essential cover with fewer benefits and some lower limits. A limited range of optional cover variations are available on this plan.

If you travel multiple times a year and want to avoid the hassle of taking out a new policy each time, an Annual Multi-Trip policy could be a great option. This can be chosen alongside our Essentials or Comprehensive plan.
