Direct Line Home insurance + free travel insurance

I have Direct Line Home and Contents insurance and one of the reasons for this was that you get free Travel Insurance included. My concern is whether the Travel Insurance is adequate or should I take out separate Travel insurance? Any experts out there. My travel insurance needs are simple and basic - I don't have any disabilities or special needs for travel.

    We 've had this. I think you need to take the "Plus" option with the home and contents insurance to get it.

    Its as good as any of the main stream insurers, virtually identical to the Direct line travel insurance.
    They don't accept pre-existing conditions, I don't think you can get them included for an extra premium. Apart from that its fairly standard.
