Dear All,

Can anyone tell me if they know of any way to get travel insurance for a one way journey.

The travel agents would not insure us but said that we would have to supply them with the policy documents of whoever did insure us.

Asked family insurance man today and he said no-one will do it

Is this true??

All info greatly appreciated.

Hi,
We are moving to Oz in March, so we plan to take out a 12 month policy (as if it is just a holiday) from the net using mother-in-laws address.
So this will cover us for flight's e.t.c.

Hi there,

Try and have a look at STA travel. I was in looking for insurance for our trip and in their wee booklet it had something about one way insurance. I think it may have been for students but not entirely sure.

The best quote we've seen so far was an annual family ticket from Halifax for around £71, but still looking.

Regards

I looked into this as we already had Annual and was told the insurance would be invalid the minute I turned the key in our accommodation door in Aus and we had no intention of returning and the stay was planned to be over the insurance period offered '30 days' individual trip I think. In the end it was what we used so at least the luggage was insured and so where we, just for the trip. But got insurance from the following day at the local NRMA office.

Check the small print, most policies specifically state that the journey must begin "and end" in the UK.

We were able to buy one-way insurance through our flight provider www.austravel.com - they could only book it for us because we had bought our tickets with them, but if you contacted them via their website, they would probably give you the details of the insurance company they use. Obviously I would give you the details myself if I had them - but now we're safely over here, I have long since chucked them out!

My daughter is emigrating to New Zealand, and is looking for one way travel insurance. I read your message, and wondered what NRMA stands for. Could you please let me know urgently, as my daughter flies out on Monday (11th).

Looking forward to your reply

Not worth resurrecting such a old thread. Gets confusing and shouldn't think Sandra is still on. Just did a search on Google for you - NRMA is an insurance company in Aus.

We used insure and go, cost £39 for 2 adults and 2 children, they cover you for can and all the other usual stuff and for 24 hours after you arrive..should be able to get cover last minute, they were very helpful. I rang around everyone and only other quote I could get was with cathay pacific and theirs was £130.

I worked in travel for 10 years, gave up when I had the kids and we used to sell holiday policies that covered one way travel but seems as though that has changed...Insure and go also do backpackers cover.

If you do a search I posted the details then(also think someone else gave the name of a diff company that they went with...most annual covers will be invalid unless you have a return ticket, wise to check it out.

Spalens wife!

I got my one way travel insurance for the 5 of us with www.duinsure.com
Tel. 0800 393 908

I spoke to a very nice aussie chap and he arranged our insurance for us at a cost of £55. The policy is a 5 day one as its the shortest one they do and begins on the day we leave and expires 24 hours after we arrive at our destination.
