Extending the duration of your policy (Single trip travel insurance only)
If whilst you are travelling you decide that you wish to continue your journey for longer than you had originally planned, unlike most UK travel insurance providers, Campbell Irvine will be happy to extend cover, provided your original policy has not expired and you have not made a claim.

Our Annual Multi Trip Travel Insurance will provide cover for as many trips within a 12 month period as the insured person requires, so long as each trip does not exceed 70 days (limited to 31 days if aged 66 to 69).

Perfect for school trips abroad.
For any trip known to be exceeding the maximum duration, then the entire period of travel including the first 70 or 31 days (subject to the age of the person travelling) will not be insured.
