    Always make sure the policy has repatriation included. I used https://www.nationwide.co.uk they have kids free offer and 10% discount online ordering
    £16 for a week for the 3 of us. give them a try

    2 adults and unlimited children costs £46 per year for standard Europe cover.

    Their premiums are discounted by 10% (don't think it's advertised though) if you renew just before expiry.

    Their policies are underwritten by AXA and we've had to claim 2 times with them in the last few years due to medical reasons. They were great both times.
