Travel insurance
Explore travel insurance before you leave
Explore SafetyWing and EKTA through DayOneFlyer’s affiliate links. Review each available plan carefully to confirm that its medical and travel benefits suit your destination, trip length and type of holiday.
Car hire
Compare the complete rental
- Check whether your itinerary needs a car: compare public transport, transfers, parking and the days you will actually drive.
- Compare the rental total, airport surcharges, fuel policy and any one-way drop-off fee. Check the security deposit and insurance excess separately; these are not automatically part of the amount paid upfront.
- Airport pickup can simplify an onward road trip but may involve queues, surcharges or a shuttle. City-centre or delayed collection can avoid unused rental days, but adds a separate journey to the desk.
DayOneFlyer provides independent planning guidance. DiscoverCars and the selected rental supplier manage live availability, prices, booking and collection terms.
Travel insurance
Check your cover before departure
Compare the options against your trip. Check eligibility, exclusions, limits and when cover begins before buying.
Use the full policy wording to decide whether the selected cover suits your trip.
Why cover matters
Match the plan to your actual trip
Travel insurance should be compared against your destination, trip length, activities, medical needs and the protection you expect. SafetyWing and EKTA have different plan structures, so neither should be treated as automatically suitable for every traveller.
Check eligibility, medical and cancellation provisions, limits, excesses and exclusions in the current policy wording before choosing either provider.
