Whether you’re traveling once a year or monthly, travel insurance offers important protection when things don’t go as planned. But how often you travel can make a big difference in which type of policy is the best fit.
At Arch RoamRight, we offer both an annual travel insurance plan and single trip plans, each with its own advantages. If you’re deciding between the two, here’s a breakdown of how they work, and how to choose the right option for your travel style.
✈️ What Is Single Trip Travel Insurance?
Single trip insurance covers one defined trip with a clear start and end date. Once the trip ends, so does your coverage.
Best for:
- Travelers taking one or two vacations per year
- Luxury travel with significant prepaid trip costs
- Students, families or retirees going abroad
🔁 What Is Annual Travel Insurance?
Annual plans, sometimes called multi-trip policies, offer travel insurance coverage for multiple trips taken within a 12-month period. Each trip usually must fall under a certain number of days (30), but the plan automatically resets every time you leave home. With the Annual Plan, you can customize the amount of trip cancellation coverage you need for the year, up to $10,000 per trip.
Best for:
- Frequent travelers (personal or business)
- People who take 3+ trips per year
- Travelers who prefer year-round protection without buying a new policy each time

💡 Questions to Ask When Choosing
- How many trips do you take per year?
If it’s just one or two, a single trip plan likely makes the most sense. If you take three or more, an annual plan may offer better value. - How long are your trips?
Arch RoamRight’s annual plan covers trips up to 30 days. If your travel is longer, a single trip plan may be required. - Do you want trip cancellation protection for each trip?
Single trip plans typically allow you to insure specific prepaid costs, including airfare, cruises and tours. Annual plans may offer several cancellation coverage options, which may not match each trip cost over the course of the year.

Annual plans eliminate the need to purchase a policy each time you travel, giving you coverage on demand.
🧳 Who Should Consider an Annual Travel Insurance Plan?
- Business travelers
- Remote workers traveling multiple times per year
- Snowbirds or retirees splitting time across states or countries
- Travel advisors and tour operators who travel frequently
- Families who take 3+ trips together each year
