Having just shelled out for travel insurance for the young Miss Bracknell's forthcoming trip to Cambodia, I was a bit worried to think that I might have found a better deal somewhere else.
But no.
What cost £84.75 at Insure and Go was quoted at £120 by Springal's people.
to be fair, I have only ever used them for week trips to Europe [not ski'ing] and everytime I found them cheap enough to not really worry about shopping around [i was only going off quotes from lloyds + travel agents]
Different companies will offer varying levels of value for money, depending on whether it's a longish trip (like Miss B's to Cambodia) or a short trip (like culvers to India).
Avoid travel agents' quotes at all costs, though. That's like insuring an electric kettle by taking up a five-year warranty offer from Comet.
I've used several and have found them much of a muchness. I did have to claim on a Llyods policy and can say that they paid up promptly without any argument.
