Hello,

I am looking for any recommendations for Travel Insurance so that I can go to our holiday home in Spain.

Requirements:
2 x 60 day trips per year.
I would prefer an annual policy rather than 2 single policies.
For my wife and myself only.
I'm coming up to 70 in 18 months.
Main requrement is health cover and repatriation.
I will exclude our current minor medical conditions
I use ferry and drive there, so don't really need cancellation or baggage insurance.
I have seperate vehicle and house insurance in Spain.

I have been using Nationwide for the last few years, but their Flexplus account is going up £60 per year to £216 and you now have to pay extra for each trip over 35 days in the annual period, £100+ a time. There is also an extra charge if you are 70 or over .
Other insurers like Staysure limit over 71 year old's to 35 days a trip in annual policy, and wont extend it, though they do single trip policies of up to 104 days, for any age, but at almost twice the price of an annual trip for each single trip!.
Similar, or other issues with other insurers I've looked at.

Thank you in advance for any recommendations that you might have.
