Get Your Quote Speak to Our TeamNot every expat in Spain travels frequently enough to justify an annual multi-trip policy. If you are making a one-off trip — a visit back to the UK, a holiday in a new destination, a family celebration, or a business trip — single trip travel insurance covers just that journey and nothing more.
Single trip insurance is flexible, straightforward, and can usually be arranged quickly — even at short notice before a departure. It covers the full duration of your specific trip, from the day you leave Spain to the day you return, and includes the essential elements you need: emergency medical cover, trip cancellation, baggage protection, and personal liability.
At 247 Expat Insurance, we help expats in Spain arrange single trip cover for any destination — European or worldwide — and we make sure the policy is appropriate for your age, health situation, and planned activities. All in English, with the support of a team that understands expat life in Spain.
A standard single trip travel insurance policy for expats in Spain will typically include the following elements. Cover and limits vary by policy level.
Covers the cost of medical treatment if you fall ill or are injured during your trip. This is the core and most important element. Limits are typically higher for worldwide policies given the cost of healthcare outside Europe.
The cost of bringing you back to Spain following a serious medical incident requiring transport. This can run to many thousands of euros without insurance in place.
Reimburses prepaid, non-refundable costs if you have to cancel before departure due to illness, injury, bereavement, or other covered reasons. Cover applies from the date the policy is purchased.
If you need to cut your trip short and return home early due to a covered reason — such as a serious illness or a family emergency — the policy reimburses the unused portion of prepaid costs.
Compensation for lost, stolen, or damaged luggage and personal items during the trip. Sub-limits typically apply to electronics, valuables, and cash.
Compensation if your departure is delayed beyond a set threshold, or contribution to costs if you miss a connecting departure due to a covered delay on the outbound journey.
Single trip cover is the right choice for expats in certain situations. Here is when it makes the most sense.
Single trip travel insurance seems simple, but there are a few areas where expats commonly make avoidable errors.
We understand that expats in Spain have different needs from standard tourists. We arrange single trip policies that fit your actual destination, duration, and health situation — not a generic off-the-shelf product.
We can arrange single trip cover quickly — often on the same day. If you are departing soon, contact us and we will make sure cover is in place before you leave.
European trips, UK visits, US travel, and worldwide destinations — we have single trip options for wherever your trip takes you from your Spanish base.
We help you declare conditions accurately and find policies that cover your health situation for the specific trip you are taking.
Single trip cover for expats of all ages. If you are over 65 and planning a specific trip, we can find appropriate cover for your age and health situation.
Everything is explained clearly in English. We make sure you understand what is covered and what to do if you need to make a claim during your trip.
Travel arrangements do not always happen Monday to Friday. We are available every day for quotes, queries, and urgent cover needs before you depart.
In most cases, we can arrange single trip travel insurance very quickly — often the same day or within a few hours of your enquiry. Policies can typically be arranged right up to the day of departure, though it is always better to arrange cover as soon as you have booked your trip so that cancellation cover applies from the date of booking rather than just the date of travel.
Yes — most single trip policies include trip cancellation cover from the date the policy starts. This means that if you need to cancel your trip due to illness, a family emergency, or another covered reason, you can claim back non-refundable costs. It is important to arrange your policy at the time of booking rather than just before departure, so that the cancellation cover is in place from the start.
As a specialist expat insurance agent, we cover all the main insurance needs you may have in Spain — not just one product.
We also offer a range of other travel cover options for expats living in Spain.
