Travel insurance recommendations

Hello, I wonder if anyone could help in giving some good recommendations for cheap travel insurance companies that cater for my parents, I have looked at so many but not sure who to trust, hence why I'm asking for some first hand experience from anyone who can recommend such sites. I have tried most of the big names and they are little expensive. The main issue is that when we travel 1 of my parents will be 75 and although in excellent health this is causing issues, also I need to insure my 6 year old daughter as both me and my partner have cover with the bank but can not add her on. What I was looking to do was insure my parents and daughter on 1 policy but its proving harder than I thought. Of anyone can help of advise me I would be very great full.

Thank you

    Have you tried looking at taking an annual multi trip policy out for your parents, they rate the premium on the age you take the cover out so they'll charge them as being 74.

    It won't be cheap but it's worth trying
  • LTSB fee paying AVA accounts will cover them until 80 years of age.
  • I found insurance for my mother last year (83 at the time) with easyjet insurance which had no upper age limit and was around £13 for a week in Europe so worth looking there - also one we used previously was linked to EHIC card and only gave cover for needs not covered by the card, EHIC I think it was called.

    Whoever you use it's very important that your parents disclose all existing medical conditions to the Travel Insurers.

    You may also find that your own Travel Insurance requires you to declare your parents existing medical conditions to them for you to benefit from cancellation / curtailment for any claims connected to them with regards to medical
