    Surely your car insurers will sort you out with a car until the claim resolved ?

    How on earth are you paying £380 for travel insurance?


    I did wonder that, but it looks like the trip is 7 months long unless I am reading the OP wrong

    If it is for 7 months it may cost that much but why cancel a 7 month trip? If it is a normal length trip I am with you..£380 !!!!!:eek::eek:

    I was planning to have a good time but got so many 'surprises' now that ruined all my plans... yeah, it sucks. I spoke to the company, they can offer me cover for another 7 months so if I choose to travel later they would cover me, so that's good, it doesn't go all the way as rubbish, the cover would just 'wait' for me until I'm able to sort out things and go traveling.

    Regarding the 7 month trip - I am just working hard now sorting out everything so I can go and have fun at last, just it looks like it would happen in April or May when it's almost summer here... sucks!! I wanted to escape the winter but I guess god has different plans for me.
