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.
