Hi everyone, need some advice regarding travel insurance

During the next year I'll be spending 5 weeks in Mexico. 1 week in Austria skiing 4/5 months in Spain and maybe a few weekends here or there.

Whats the best option for myself regarding travel insurance. thanks in advance

You will need special ins, annual ins won't usually cover you for more than 30 days at a time.
Have a look for long duration insurance.

Is there any chance you can shorten the Mexico trip?

Thanks for the info.

No Richard I cannot shorten the trip

Looks like you're going to need individual specialist policies, at least for Spain and Mexico.

No one, of the shelf, policy is going to cover you for extended stays in Spain Mexico and for winter sports, although if you're lucky and can find an annual policy for either of the two extended trips that work out cheaper than a duration only policy you may be able get winter sports thrown in.

Thanks Peachy. Ill get looking

You lucky so-and-so!

Yes: get separate policies for each trip. No sense paying for winter sports cover for the Spanish trip, nor paying an Americas premium for the time spent in Europe.

Don't forget to contact your home insurance provider too - most of them will only cover for a period of 30 days without the property being occupied.
