Default insurance for a one way trip

Hi,

I am returning to the Uk after 1.5 years in Australia working.

I am having real problems finding cost effective (or any) travel insurance for my one way trip home to the UK. I am stopping off in SE Asia for a few months so don't want to risk expensive medical bills.

I can't apply for UK based insurance because i am not a UK resident. I can't apply for Oz insurance because it is a one way trip and/or I am not australian.

Any recommendations please? I am hoping people visiting this site may have been in this situation before..

thanks!

Mikki,

This is the only company I could find willing to give me cover for one way to Aus.

Probably only insure from UK but maybe worth trying them.
