Usually you would be able to upgrade to w/w during the policy year - But you would need to check with whoever you take your policy out with.

Hi everybody!!!

I've been a MASSIVE fan of mse for years but this is my first post for help! I am hoping someone can give me some guidance after hours of research...

I am a 26 year old male and have dual nationality: British/Italian. I now live and work in Italy. In an average year I go on about 8-12 visits abroad - always for pleasure not work. The trips can be from a weekend to a month long, in europe and elsewhere. I also return to the UK 2-3 times a year. I never book my holidays through a travel agency - I always arrange the whole holiday, flights hotel etc myself and never use ryanairs/easyjets recommended insurance covers.

I am looking for an annual worldwide insurance cover that will actually cover me when i need it! I travel mostly with a suitcase which contains a large amount fo valuables, not to mention my new suitcase that cost €200! So I am looking for the best cover possible (with the highest cover possible for my suitcase contents) that will cover me when I take holidays in the UK and abroad. Remember I am resident in Italy.

I hope you can help! thanking you in anticipation!

A number of uk travel insurance companies will insure EU citizens or ex pats living in the EU. Some I know of are Flexicover/PJHayman/worldwideinsure/campbellIrvine/Trailfinders

Hi,I have 2 trips later this year, one to Europe, and in Sept a flight to New York to join the Queen Mary 2 . Today on TV they said the volcanic ash problem could linger throughout the summer-I wonder does anyone know which insurers will cover me in case of flight cancellation? The QM2 won't wait if flights are all canx....anyone??

My husband and I are selling up and taking a year out to travel australia and new zealand but im not sure what type of travel insurance I will need or who to approach for a full year of travelling. This could include anything from general motoring through to waterskiing, diving etc. Im looking for some real advice and tips please.

Thanks for the suggestion,but I am trying to see if anyone knows which insurers cover the volcanic ash issue..not all of them do.....anyone got a recommendation?

There aren't any that will cover it now. You needed to have the insurance in place prior to 15/4/10.

The only scheme I know of is with Flybe and it is just for their passengers (and has to be for flights booked by Monday 10/5/10).
