90 Day Travel Insurance Help!

So my next trip will be for 90 days and it seems it's quite expensive to get a decent policy to cover that without breaking the bank. Does anybody have any recommendations?

I was with Virgin for a few years on an individual annual policy, no existing health conditions.. but it would be a good chunk more of money to get the length I need now. So i'm googling like mad :)

    Depends on your age, where you are going and whether you want a long stay/ backpacker type policy or a full one with all sections applying.

    If you are going on several trips then an annual policy with a 93 limit on any one trip could be the solution. I obtained a price for £140.00 on one site - worldwide including America, £50 excess, £3000 cancellation, £5 million medical and £1750 luggage - this was for an under 50. Obviously if you are older then the price goes up.

    (Found one for half the price through MRL insurance - £65 excess: £66.11 premium - OOPS this was for 30 days - you have to extend the policy to cover 93 and this was about the same as the one above)
