Insurance HELP!!!!!
Hi yawl
We are flying out on Mon 25th Staying 4 nights in Singapore then on to Melbourne arriving 31st July.
The problem is that we cant seem to get any insurance for the dates above. All the companies we have spoken to state that we have to leave the Uk and return for them to be able to insure us.
Can anyone help? What has everyone else done??
regards Chris and Andrea

Do u mean travel / cancelation insurance (bags, if u are sick when u have to leave) or health insurance for the trip?
I did my insurance through my credit card company. It automatically insures me for cancellation / luggage loss if i pay my flight with it.
Maybe check with them?

They also cover the first 17 days in Aus before Medicare kicks in.
There are one or two other options that others may come up with too.

Re: Insurance HELP!!!!!
This one quotes for it:

We are one of only a few insurers that provide one way cover and it is FREE! All you need to do is purchase the type of policy you require, and then add 'one way cover' as an extension when purchasing your policy.
Another benefit of this policy is that you don't need to travel directly from the UK to your final destination. You can enjoy your time travelling the world
over without the need to hurry home before you have seen all you want to.
The final, and perhaps most important benefit, is that you will be repatriated (sent to your final destination) if you should be seriously injured or should death occur. This is a very important aspect of care for those of you who are travelling home after living/working in the UK for a period of time
