    You can get a child's policy with Direct Travel, but you will pay the adult price for it.

    ECCLESTO - Please look at Post Office (Fortis Insurance) -

    No the cheapest but Excelent value for money - very lenient with PEMC's and their coverage is plenty for USA.

    Stay away from any Axa policy (after claims service is poo! or White Horse - went bust in the UK then moved and started up again in Ireland and therefore out of the reach of the FSA = you have no comeback if you should wish to complain) .

    Hi

    I am trying to see the PEMC for the Post Office but for some reason this computer will not read the pdf. :mad: I would be really grateful if someone could copy and paste the main points on here for me.....:):)

    Lorriecat - make sure your friends have a signed permission from you to act on your behalf for your child's well being. Namely if your child is taken ill/arrested etc they can deal with it.

    You may also like to add that they have your permission to sign but they are not to be held financially or legally responsible for any thing arrising from your son/daughter. (it would save a huge falling out or legal battle later if something should happen)

    Looking to travel to US for 10 days can anyone reccomend a decent policy?

    Aviva quoted me £36 with personal baggage cover.

    £36 is great! But what is the cover?

  • HI, could anyone advise me regarding an insurance covering more than 31 days to Asia. I was looking for a multi-trip or would a single trip would be the best then? It will be a family of 4 although my husband has to only stay for 20 days.

    thanks very much.

    My Direct Travel annual policy covers me for up to 45 days away.

    You haven't said how long you need it for.

    Have annual policy with Insure and Go but wondering whether to stay with them or use AA. Off to Florida for 3 weeks in August and appreciate that the cover needs to be right.

    Also last year I had bronchitis and Insure and Go aren`t covering me for this (I didn`t want to pay an extra £30) that was last July. Will this stand on a new policy? and how would I tell the AA if wanted to go with them as was hoping to do policy through Quidco.

    Please can anyone help. thank you

    The reviews on insure and go are pretty poor
