Default Travel Insurance

I am looking for travel insurance, is yearly a good thing ? how much does it cost and cover ? Any company names to check out would be great thank you.

I have just taken out a yearly worldwide policy with http://www.ibexinsure.com/ at a cost of €230 for two of us.
They have cheaper alternatives.

if you pay with your credit card most of them offer free travel insurace, check to see if it has the same cover.

I have just tried Global and got a quote of £251

A few days ago I tried Staysure after doing a search for Travel Insurance on BE Spain they will insure Expats living anywhere within the EU with only one exception.

Guess where?

Gibraltar

So for all Expats living in the other 27 member states please note that Staysure will insure you to visit me but they will not insure me to visit you

The only information the Global "Quote" was based on

Multi Trip - worldwide multiple journeys over a period of 12 Months.
1 person 66 to 75 the other 19 to 65

£251

Wait until they ask about the size of the Chemists Shop we have to carry with us

I'm guessing you both must be as fit as a butcher's dog with no existing conditions, not so elderly, or limited cover for that sort of figure?

Late 50's, early 60's. No, we dont have limited cover but we dont have cover for skiing equipment or golf clubs, no :-). No, not got any existing conditions. These are usually excluded or additional premium taken. When I fractured my skull they wanted an additional £60 for only the following year, then it went back to normal

Yes, existing conditions are the pricey bit, I just exclude them and take a chance, never had a claim in around 30 years of holidaying abroad. Friend of mine has leukaemia and it cost him around £250 just for a one trip insurance, can't remember how long, but no more than 2 weeks.

If you tell them its "anything connected with....", so with a fractured skull it could relate to anything!!!
