Holiday Insurance.

<< < (3/16) > >>

Richard/Jackie/Nathan:
It depends what you're priority is really - I would always recommend a god level of medical expenses cover and to ensure that the cover for cancellation/curtailment is enough to cover the cost of your holiday. I would also always try and keep the policy excess below £100. If you have personal possessions cover under your home insurance then I would delete the baggage cover from the travel insurance (the level of cover is normally poor and the single article limit low in any event). Then its a case of single trip cover or annual cover, that depends totally on how often you plan on travelling. If you have pre-existing medical conditions then, personally, I would recommend going through a broker to ensure they are all fully disclosed and that the cover meets your requirements - I would say that wouldn't I  :D. If you are fit and healthy and just want basic cover then hit the comparison sites but always check the excess and also what activities are covered under the policy - just in case you are hiring quads, going scuba diving etc. Anyone wants any advice or a quote - richard.huntley@saleinsurance.co.uk

Thanks Richard, great information for everyone.

Ours comes up for renewal in early June, so I will definitely be contacting you nearer the time. The rates are pretty high for over seventy-fives!

It's not clear yet whether our EHIC cards will be valid after January 31st. In any case, I've already said that if I die in Agios Stefanos I'd prefer to be buried there, but I'm not sure how possible that is for those who are not Orthodox. I really don't see the point of flying a bag of bones back to the UK for cremation. So the main issue is hospitalisation and medical repatriation. Since I'm more likely to die of a stroke or heart attack, and in either event only rapid intervention would achieve much, it comes down to accidents.

I know that's a bit morbid - but that's the whole point, really.

We have had Sainsbuys multitrip worldwide for last four years. Never claimed and so upset one year that the premiums had jumped up in price. I was on the phone to complain and after a quick rant I became quiet as the girl explained it was for no other reason than last time you were 49, now you are 50.......Could have cried.

Haha ;D Bless you.!

We have our insurance attached to our bank account. I get a discount on the premium as I am a Lloyds bank pensioner (now that is old, Gary & Sam ;D) Have had a few medical claims, with no issue whatsoever. The fee includes AA cover and mobile phone cover also.
