To make things flexible, when you purchase your travel insurance policy, all you need to do is click “Worldwide” in the dropdown menu when you’re selecting the countries you want to visit. This will cover you for the whole world!
Wherever you want to go, having a worldwide policy means you don’t need to tell us where you’re going as you explore the world.
