Also, it looks like you can get 14% cashback through quidco for Direct Travel, MSE's best value policy.
I also can't see any mention of platinum policy on direct travel's website.
Does anybody have any experience of the insurance policies included with Natwest Advantage Gold or LTSB Platinum. Thinking of getting one of these for travel insurance, AA cover, mobile phone cover (iPhone) etc...
Also, the prices quoted don't compare exactly with any of direct travel's policies- so I thought there might be a special MSE only policy via a special link or something but couldn't find anything
thanks, Anuska
I have Iscaemic Heart Disease with Angina, have had Angioplasty with one stent, high blood pressure and have just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
One of the quotes I got was for £472 but I have managed to reduce this to £83. I used one a couple of years ago but they don't do insurance any more.
Cannot understand the quotes as the only problem I have at present is my recent diabetes diagnoses, and even this is under control.
Just wondered if anyone had any suggestions on companies they have used.
I foolishly took out the M&S one without checking that it's only for 45 day trips!
Please help!
Any suggestions for providers of travel insurance for annual cover other than World Nomads for residents outside the UK?
Thank you and regards
I think you would need to get insurance from a Turkish insurer seeing as you are resident there.
