Can I get fully comprehensive cover abroad?

Yes — you can upgrade your standard third-party cover abroad to fully comprehensive cover for extra protection during your trip.


What does fully comprehensive cover include?

Upgrading gives you additional cover for:

  • Damage to your own car

  • Theft of your car

  • Personal injuries

  • Plus, all the protection you already have under third-party cover (injury or damage to others)


Is there an extra cost?

Yes — both upgrading to fully comprehensive cover and extending your trip duration come with an additional cost. The exact price depends on your trip length and policy type.


How long can I stay abroad?

Your standard policy includes:

Plan Type

Days of cover abroad per policy term

Lightest

30 days

Essential, Original, Plus

90 days

If you need more time abroad, you can request an extension — we’ll provide a quote and let you know the next steps.
