Cheap travel insurance

gorgeousme

I need travel insurance for a 2 week holiday in Thailand and the quotes are around £200 for 2 people , one with high blood pressure.  Our recently expired annual policy for Europe was only £58. Can anyone recommend a company with reasonable prices?

Update: after 2 hours and no joy for a single trip policy, I found an annual worldwide policy for £101!

With which company?

Probably worth bearing in mind that the cheapest policies are usually so for a reason, so hopefully you studied the small print in sufficient detail to ensure that it fits your needs?

If you have no intention of going to the USA or doing winter sports you can save a lot of money by getting worldwide policies which exclude them.

Make sure you check all the limits for coverage as some have very low limits.
Have a lovely trip.

That is very cheap, but perhaps you are young!  I would check TrustPilot and read any claims related reviews.  I am currently looking for an annual multi-trip policy and so far I have quotes of between £400 and £900.  I have no health issues but my partner has several including high blood pressure, mild oesteoarthirits, Type 1 diabetes, mild asthma and pancreatic insufficiency.  Make sure you have declared everything.  I printed out a list of medical conditions from my GP surgery.  Some insurers only want last two years' history, others everything.  Some claims are rejected or only part funded due to a condition not being declared, even non-critical.
