Best experience with travel insurance company?

Savedotmoney

Hi all,

I've run a search on confused.com and got some cheap prices for a policy but as there are so many companies, I'm sure they are not all great.

Can anyone recommend one they have had a good experience with?

I'm looking for an annual policy for Europe. Travelling to Turkey, Ibiza and France this year. I'm 22 with no previous medical history. I found a good policy I think with HolidaySafe.co.uk at £21 for the year. What do you think? Thanks :T

Thanks!

Travel insurance is very heavy with niche providers and so what you really want to do is look at who the actual insurer behind the policy is. I must admit not to know the company that HolidaySafe uses but Travel isnt my best area of expertise

That said, just because two policies are written by the same insurer doesnt mean the cover or service is necessarily going to be equal as intermediaries can chose the level of cover and service that goes along with the product.

Have a look at the Which? (for service) and Defaqto (for product quality) websites for some idea on them

You need to check that any policy covers what you need it to as there is no "one size fits all".

If you have intending doing any hazardous activities such a quad biking, jet skiiing, etc you need to make sure that is included or pay an additional premium if necessary.
