For annual multi-trip insurance

Cancellation cover starts when you book each trip or at the date and time of issue recorded as part of your application as shown on your policy confirmation, if this is later. Cover under all other Sections begins when you leave home to go on your trip and ends when you arrive home from that trip. There is no limit to the number of leisure trips you may take, but each trip must be shorter than 31 days. This can be extended to 45 days if you have paid the additional premium and this is shown on your Policy Schedule. The start and finish dates of the trip must fall within the 12 month period of the annual multi-trip insurance or within a period of continuous Post Office® Travel Insurance cover.  If you have paid the appropriate premium to include winter sports the maximum period of cover provided for winter sports is 21 days in total during the 12 month period of insurance. Cover is provided for more than one winter sports trip provided you do not exceed 21 days in total.  For trips booked during the 12 month period of insurance that start after the end of that period, Post Office will provide cancellation cover until the policy ends.

For single trip insurance

Cancellation cover starts at the date and time of issue recorded as part of your application and as shown on your policy confirmation, and ends when you leave home to go on your trip. All other cover begins when you leave home to go on your trip and lasts until you arrive home, as long as that is within the period of insurance paid for. The maximum duration of any trip is 90 days. The insurance is only valid if you have insured the whole duration of your trip.
