Cheapest Travel Insurance Discussion

I just used travelinsurance-web.com and got 3 weeks cover in Cyprus for £11.50. This was cheaper than moneysupermarket.com (or whatever it is). Bargain!!

I have just gone to the swift site and put in my details for a single trip 15 day worldwide holiday ... it has come back with a quote of £5882.25 (which is somewhat disappointing come the value for money stakes - especially since my lowest quote so far as been £59).

I did try adding in their wintersports cover (not that I needed it but just thought I would give it a go) and got a quote of £14705.61.

Ever had a feeling that somewhere something on their site is forgetting to divide by 100?

LOL - I assume you must have entered about 12 months as it's £28.27 according to a quote I've just run!?

I have been trying to get travel insurance for my parents, who are coming out to visit us in Slovenia for a week in October. If it wasn't hard enough to find it for them because of their ages (69 and 70), the fact they have pre-existing medical conditions (angina, arthritis and something else I cannot remember...) makes it even harder.

What I wan is single trip cover, which will also cover them for thse conditions. Does anyone know any companies that cater for people like my parents and are affordable. A couple of quotes have worked out about the same cost of the holiday!

I know no-one who has used either company, so don't know how cheap they are, but they certainly have no upper age limit for travellers.

I can't believe Martin's recommendation for cheap single trip travel insurance.

I've used Direct Travel (https://www.direct-travel.co.uk) for many years now and no one gets close to their quotes.

I've just insured for a week's travel to Spain at £9 all in with £10mln medical cover and £2mln liability cover.

Come on Martin you'll be hard pressed to better that anywhere.

unless you'd actually read Martin guide, and seen that https://www.travel-insurance-web.com do it for £7.75...but granted you do have to be under 50.

OK, new topic. Am going to China for 12 weeks, and annual insurance is generally cheaper than single trip policy. Who offers annual policy to niclude trips greater than 31 days?
