anyone used these 3 travel insurers

Options
Hi, the the three travel insurers that come out top of the list on the comparison site for me travelling to Canada / USA are:

Primary Insurance
Insure for.com
Preferential Travel

They all have similar pros and cons so I wonder if anyone has used any of these / had to make a claim? - any comments?

Thank you Mark

    Preferential is underwritten by Axa so I would recommend you avoid them, the excess is fairly high at £75 as well

    Insurefor.com is underwritten by Europeassist who are not to bad, the excess is a more managable £50 and it includes Airline / Supplier failure

    Primary is underwritten by Axa so I would recommend you avoid it plus the excess is £100! (The excess is actually higher for trips to Spain, Turkey or Cyprus and is even higher in these countries if you are over 41...£150 excess is a massive excess)
