Extended trip or long stay travel insurance keeps you protected for a longer period than a typical single trip policy. So, if you’re planning a round-the-world adventure, long visit overseas or gap year, extended travel insurance should be an essential on your travel checklist.

Sainsbury’s Extended Trip Travel insurance covers UK travellers for a trip abroad for up to 366 days. Once you’re covered, you can keep the same quality cover wherever you go, no matter how long you decide to stay in each place.

With Sainsbury’s Travel insurance, you’ll have peace of mind that you’re covered when you travel. Plus, if you’re a Nectar member you’ll get up to 20% off – just tell us your Nectar card number when you get a quote. Exclusions apply*

Our team is available to talk 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. So if you have a medical emergency when you’re abroad, we can offer expert advice on what steps to take. We can also help you make sure you have the right documents on hand to make a claim.

Don’t let fear of a pre-existing condition or medical costs hold you back from an adventure. A wide range of pre-existing medical conditions can be declared and covered when you buy a policy.

We want you to enjoy your trip and any activities that you have planned. Our extended trip travel insurance can be tailored to suit you and your needs. It covers a range of activities, from rowing and surfing to golf and fishing.

Additional activities can be covered through our Winter Sports add on cover. See a full list of covered activities in our product booklet.

Our extended trip cover comes with three levels of cover to choose from - Silver, Gold and Platinum. This allows you to choose the degree of coverage that best suits you and your budget for your long stay holiday.

Excesses may apply. Please see the policy booklet for full details.

Planning to visit home during your long stay overseas? No problem. If you choose Gold or Platinum cover, you can return to the UK during your trip without cancelling your cover. Your policy will suspend when you arrive in the UK and start again at the departure point.

With our extended stay cover can you come home for up to 14 days without cancelling your cover.
