Travel insurance for 2 years

Can anyone recommend a travel insurance company that will cover me for two years abroad?
The only one i've found so far is Endsleigh and i'd like others to compare the prices too.
Also, my initial hope, before id' started my search, had been to find a company that would give me a 12 month policy on a rolling direct debit, but this seems not to be service offered by anyone. Presumably because companies only insure for trips of pre-determined fixed lengths.
Thanks for any help/advise you guys can give,
Jake.

    Try backpackers insurance. Be very careful to read terms and conditions. It might be quite hard to get 2 years Mostly they are just one year..There are terms and conditions if you are intending to work. Boots do a gap year one but again its 2 you are looking for. They do direct debit on a rolling basis.I had my yearly one with them and they just renew it unless I call them to cancel.Its pretty good as you pay it monthly direct debit. Might be worth giving them a call

    I used gapyear.com message boards and they have a board about insurance.

    ACE Travel insurance seems to be quite popular and is very cheap i comparison to others - think I'm going with them for 4 months.They may do a 2 year one worth a look

    I had a look on the British Insurance Broker's Association (BIBA) website as they have a listing of companies for specialised cover... I don't know how cheap/expensive of what the cover would be like of any of the companies, but have a look at the link below for the section on different travel companies (just click on e.g long stay/gap year)
