    There are a few companies that make you take travel insurance out before you book

    It actually makes a lot of sense to have insurance in place at the time of booking a holiday.

    Once you have booked then cancellation caused by death is a possibility.

    If you book a holiday and leave it a week to get insurance (or even 5 minutes) then something could potentially happen.

    Some companies are being underhand but what many companies are suggesting is either sensible or simply to protect themselves.

    Thanks all,
    I wouldn't ever travel without insurance - but really do object to these companies (Keycamp/Eurocamp) forcing the most expensive option onto you (in the hope that you can't be bothered looking elsewhere I guess!)
    Thanks for the direct travel tip - just got a quote of 24 pounds, a bit different from 80!
