Travel Insurance with no excess?

Random
Posts: 234 Forumite
Just wondering if anyone knows of companies that offer no excess policies, or comparison sites that allow you to search by excess amount? I'm going on a short break, with quite a cheap flight, and would rather pay a bit more for the insurance to avoid losing half the cost as excess should I have to cancel.
I'm going to Germany in May.
So far the best I've found is the Post Office (£15 but with some Rpoints back on it).

Just looked at Confused.com, and it seems to be quoting me prices with excess, is it possible to make it search with no excess, or do I then have to go through the results individually to see which have an excess waiver?0 -
Any other suggestions of comparison sites that search with no excess, before I buy the one above?
Cheapest I've found so far is just over £8, guess it's not a bad deal?0 -
Be careful with the excess for different types of cover, so read the summaries so you are sure you are getting the cover you want.Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.0

I challenge anyone, including you too Martin and your staff, to find a better, cheaper and more flexible choiced travel insurance product than www.atlasdirect.net .
If you do please let me know.
Eg: Annual & Wordwide & wintersports & golf & ZERO excesses & baggage & under 65 & 31 per trip = £53.82.
You can even add wedding cover !Don't be a fool, stay out of debt.
Use a cashback CC and screw the industry, I do.0 -
For council employees there's http://www.county-council.co.uk/ They offer a no-excess option.0

I bought a policy with American Express the other day which had this option. It cost an extra £7 for the 3 of us.0

Google for 'globelink co uk'. On the 2nd step of their quotation wizard add an excess waiver option (an option to delete an excess from the policy) to your policy.0
