Travel insurance on Emigrating ??
Anyone got any tips on who to use for travel insurance on the one way trip to Oz when we actually emigrate next month or any ideas on what we should be paying - 2 adults 1 child.
Many thanks.

Check if your bank covers you. With my Nat West Advantage account it covers us for everything, 2 adults and 1 child until we get out of the airport in perth. Changed the account to go back to a normal bank account as of the 21st of april saved me about £200, That will pay for a hire car for a few days. Good Luck

Try the Post Office
Can't remember the cost but I do remember it was very good price and one way travel was not a problem with them

Re: Travel insurance on Emigrating ??
Do you need a different type of travel insurance to what you would use if you were just going on holiday?
we have just used Insure & Go for our validation trip.
Our bank does provide travel insurance but not worldwide, the price to upgrade was more expensive than the insurance company we've used.

You definitely need a different type of insurance as most policies only cover you for trips that begin and end in the UK. I was told that no normal policies cover this. Do a search on this forum as this was how we found out who to use. Can't remember who they were though !

Direct Line is also very good and they didn't charge for my son.
