UK Travel Insurance
I am unable to obtain travel insurace to go abroad due to ongoing medical issues, so I booked a cottage in the UK for a break. When I tried your suggested providers I was quoted a price equivalent to the cost of the cottage. This also included £10m of medical cover, but I am a UK resident holidaying in the UK. If I am…

Travel Trolley / Southall Travel - Scam or just an awful company?
We’ve spent about 15 hours on the phone to Travel Trolley (Wikipedia says they’re the “online division” of Southall Travel) over the past 9 days, we’ve paid nearly £6k (double what we should have) and we still haven’t got any tickets. I still can’t quite work out if we’ve been scammed, or they’re just an incredibly…

Passport worry
Hello I am going to Egypt soon and I applied for an Egyptian Visa. However, they said they could not read the signature on my passport so my dad said go over the signature which was previously signed on black ink with a more legible signature.

Booking.com hosts don't seem to reply to queries?
I have used Booking.com happily in the past but often find that if I have a query that I want to check on in advance of booking/paying, hosts rarely if ever reply. This is in contrast to AirBnB where hosts ttend to be very responsive (but it's often more costly for single night stays). Has anybody else found this problem…

This seems to me to get them off the hook for most non-accident medical claims. Is this a normal clause? Or have I just picked a particularly tight insurer? Is it even legal - it has the whiff of an…

Now that I'm retired I would like to do a few of the things I promised myself, one of which is a grand tour of Europe in the footsteps of the Victorians. First of all however I would like to 'try out' the idea by doing 2-4 weeks in France, mainly because I speak the language. I intend to do all of my traveling by train and…
