Wow! Cheap prices arent they? Im not sure they can mean for 2 people though. I must have read something wrong. Is Turkey classed as the Med region do you think?

Put 1 person in & you'll see the price will halve.
Turkey is normally classed as in Europe & the Med. It's when you add on USA - because of their high medical charges that charges rocket.

It might be worth looking at bank & building society accounts & maybe changing where you bank. Quite a few accounts have FREE worldwide travel cover + other perks if you have your wages paid into them. Others you have to keep a minimum amount in the account for free cover. We use Lloyds & have free worldwide cover & free AA cover (the AA cover is not used as we got it with the car), we do have to keep a minimum amount of £2000 in the account or they charge £8 a month.

Take a look at what is on offer as there are some good deals around.
If you do have annual worldwide cover it does mean you can take off at last minute & never worry again about whether you're insured or not.

I will definitely have to look into this as I have a holiday to Egypt booked for next year too. I had no idea you could arrange cover for additional holidays at a cheaper price.

if you have more than 2 or 3 holidays a year it is cheaper to take out a yearly insurance
make sure medical is covered if ill
age concern do a good policy and will cover all ages

Ive just bought an annual (european) family policy with:

http://www.simpletravelinsurance.com

This is one of the Which magazine's best buys. I was interested in this one because Which said in their reports that they don't automatically not include pre-existing medical conditions. The policy is for 31 days holiday duration at a time. You can pay more for 45 days cover at a time if required. Europe includes Turkey and Egypt and various other countries referred to in their policy. This was good for me as we are shortly going to Egypt for a week.

I didn't include baggage cover as we have this on our household policy but it was only another £7.00 or so if you need it. They also have a 'plus' policy with more cover if required.

The premium for the whole family for the year is £39.97 and they included Paul's medical conditions with no extra charge!

I think this is a bargain - do check it out and read the terms to see if it suits you and if you have any medical conditions I would suggest you always ring the medical helpline number first to see if the conditions are covered BEFORE taking out the policy.

Thanks to all who have been good enough to help me out. I do have a few medical conditions which may bump up the premium but Im hoping it wont be by too much

Wow just had a quote from an insurance company and its £62 to insure me and my partner just for Turkey. Cos Im on medication I bet ... She did say Turkey had very high premiums cos the medical care is very expensive.
