Tesce Travel Insurance for clubcard Deals

Hi, Not sure if this the right place for this post

I've just booked a mobile home in Spain for a few nights in August with deals tokens. I used £137.50 in tokens (worth £550), which menat I only had just over £100 to pay. Very Happy :j

The thing is when I rang the holiday compay they told me I had to get my holday insurance through Tesco as I had paid by vouchers.

We are not onl going to the caravan site we have also got a hotel elswhere before hand - paid in cash.

Anyone know why I need to be covered with Tesco and not ayone else and what exactly I wold be covered for. Have had a normal travel insurance quote from them in the past and it was extortionate in comparison to other providers :eek:

I'm a little confused!

    My understanding is that you don't HAVE to get your insurance with Tesco, but the value of your vouchers may not be covered by other policies if you have to cancel.

    There is another thread on this I am sure but I can't find it.

    The other thread said that travelinsuranceweb do cover the value of vouchers and airmiles etc. I've just checked the t's and c's and they do.

    I have also found just now what seems to be the same policy as travelinsuranceweb - by columbus direct - who are the provider anyway via the moneysupermarket.com search engine. There are different options on columbus direct, some of them have higher excesses in return for lower premiums

    Hope this helps someone
