    Will give NossenBer's query above regarding Insureme4 a bump as I would also be interested to know the answer given everything going on at present! :(
  • Was disappointed when Nationwide added charges to their debit card when using it abroad but now they have written to me telling me that as a current account holder I am entitled to free European multi trip travel insurance.
    This is good but I have upgraded to worldwide cover for £20 which is very good. Still waiting for the policy documents to finally check the small print but if it is okay this will have saved me a few pounds.

    Check it very carefully if you have any pre-existing medical conditions - there are hoops to jump through.

    They wanted £20 to upgrade to worldwide which was fine, but another £110 for PEMC's which wasn't.

    You can read the T&C's of the policy HERE

    Has anyone else used them and has any feedback? Renewal is coming up soon and don't know if I should shop around..

    They want £40 extra from me because I am taking medication for high blood pressure. Will probably be cheaper than my existing policy with insureandgo.

    I'll be happy to pay that. I just got a quote for £778 from staysure for my husband's PEMC. They are the same as the last policy we had for our USA visit in 2009 which cost us £113 but he is 71 now so that makes a huge difference!
  • Hi,
    Does anyone know what the difference is between single/multi trip travel insurance and Cruise insurance?

    Single trip is exactly that. It only cover one trip away.

    Multi trip or annual insurance is exactly that. It covered multiple trips over a 12 month period, as many trip as you like.

    You need insurance that specifically covers cruises, but some standard policies do such as Direct Travel.
