    My parents have found the travel insurance provided by Age Concern to be very competitive, especially where existing medical conditions are involved

    https://www.allcleartravel.co.uk will cover any age, but only on single trips, they also will cover pre existing medical conditions. HTH!
    if it's more than 10 stone, and that hairy, it's probably not a dog...it may be a wookie.
  • I've just bought a travel policy from https://www.swiftcover.com and they were really cheap - they're 100% online I think
  • checkout swiftcover.com both their single trip and annual policies are very competitive.

    Hi Paul - I'd check out https://www.swiftcover.com. They are a new online company that charge according to the country not just a region

    Check out this firm for cheap travel insurance - works out to be very reasonably priced. What's more, if you book it through https://www.pigsback.com, they award you 200 for the trouble! 'Piggypoints' are redeemable against cinema tickets, blockbuster rentals and boots vouchers! Not to be sniffed at!

  • Good morning,

    Please note that I purchased the EGG online travel promotion, but inadverntently placed my order for European Cover, and required Worldwide. When my Policy documents arrived I noticed this and called EGG. They refused to change my policy to Worldwide and were not very helpful.

    Any suggestions where else I should try?
