Travel Insurance?

SaberBlade asked:


I am a british citizen, planning on visiting the US for about 80 days. What I am looking for is good, cheap, reliable travel insurance. I’ve seen some quotes that cost as much as the flight itself so any assistance would be appreciated.

–Thanks.

I used to use columbus direct.com which seemd to be reasonable but insurance to the USA is always quite expensive because of the medical costs there and you need proper coverage for medical emergencies.

I think that you will find a great deal on Moneysupermarket.com thats where I got my travel insurance, and they actually had to pay out on my policy as I ended up in a French hospital.

My insurance was about 40pounds, and it was for annual insurance! I think from memory you could go away for up to 94 days at a time, or 17days at a time if you included winter sports.

Hope this helps – just remember to read the small print about how many consecutive days away from the UK you are covered for! Happy Travels!

I would suggest worldnomads.com. They’re very reasonably priced.
