No waiting about a somebody nips off for 10 minutes to look for the right code. The assistant said they only do it when they're busy. I suppose we'd all be ripping…

Be careful using 24DrTravel insurance
Don't expect any good service from 24DrTravel .... I used 24DrTravel for my family Worldwide Travel insurance and wish I hadn't. This 'moneysupermarket.com' insurer has completely let me down by their on-going failure to fulfill their own written promises. Hard to believe, but true. This shower are just all promises and no…
