Travel Insurance

[alan.ogle]

We are travelling to Calis on July 12 but haven't yet bought our travel insurance. Can anyone recommend a good online travel insurance site. Thanx, Alan.

We have used flexicover.com for the last couple of years. However with no cause to claim cannot really say too much. Heard that Post Office are very good.

Try Atlasdirect, you can do it all online providing you have no medical conditions to declare.
Also look at post {A Link to an old CBF topic was here - no longer available}22465 about insurance claims.

I can highly recommend simple travel insurance. I found them through the which consumer magazine as they are good for covering medical conditions. They even covered me following an operation 6 weeks prior to taking out the cover.

We get annual cover and for 2 adults and 2 children (and the children can be up to age 22!) the total premium is just over £47.00 for the year - you can pay a bit extra to waive the excess if you wish and there is an additional premium if your over 65, or also, if you wish to participate in various sporting activities.

I've not had to use the company however so cannot say how good they are on a claim!

Before taking out a policy, its always  best to ring the medical number given to check if your medical conditions are covered before taking out the policy.

Hope this helps

T you've got it that's the place.

Coincidentally I am just booking mine now for family cover 2 adults and 1 child (14 yr old). On www.moneysupermarket.com just found:

Single trip £20.00
UK and Europe annual multi trip £35.95
Worldwide annual multi trip £42.90

......all with good cover for cancellation and baggage loss + other bits and bobs (certainly enough to cover you)

and that's for all of us. Just waiting for the Gaffa to get back to see what she wants to do.

Good Luck

Hi cef,

The link to simple travel insurance is:-

As I said, the are good for covering pre-existing medical conditions - make sure you declare anything with any insurers or if the worst should happen and you need to make a claim, you will not be covered. Some insurers say that will cover everything but whatever it is that you suffer from which is not a lot of good!

I think the fact they cover family members up to age 22 is also good and you can get cover for less if you do not include baggage cover. I do this as I already have this covered on my household policy
