Lewing Posted June 17, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Mmmm Nationwide - wouldn't have thought of them will have a look on-line. Some I've looked at want you to name every place you are visiting instead of just ticking carribbean Thanks for info Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the exclusions of cover in 'cheap' insurance, such as your existing health situation. Taking a prescribed medicine 'might' mean that that problem/illness is automatically excluded :-( We have cover, World Wide for a year, not just one trip, on our Bank Debit card. I have paid an extra £235.00 to cover last year's Quadruple Heart By-Pass and this year's Lung Decortication operations. This was underwritten by Axa, the same company and the same policy which paid back my deposit of £1300.00 in November when I cancelled this year's Oriana cruise to the Carribean in January because I was waiting for the Lung Operation. Cheap Insurance? Fine, but read the small print and read the exclusions. AND, don't get to pass 70 because it is a minefield then if you have recently had major surgery :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewing Posted June 18, 2010 Author #7 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Thanks for all the advice - at the moment we both have no health issues and are under 60 but I'm still checking different companies out as the prices vary considerably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CASPALL Posted June 19, 2010 #8 Share Posted June 19, 2010 We find it cheaper to have annual insurance as we go away a lot - it's only £94 for 2 of us and covers the world. No skiing is the only exception. Caryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thejuggler Posted June 19, 2010 #10 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Last couple of trips we have used LV - very good price and excellent service from UK based call centres. Check small print as some insurers are cheap as they exclude cruise holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CASPALL Posted June 19, 2010 #11 Share Posted June 19, 2010 "Any medical problems? Are you over 70? Can we have the full picture please" No and no. Trying to see as much of the world as possible while we can still buy decent priced insurance. I know it must be very costly when you get to a certain age or have medical problems.

MattyBarlow Posted June 19, 2010 #12 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Try Atlasdirect.net They are underwritten by AXA. I always use them and they paid up no problem for a cancellation in 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Tooooooooooooooo true :-(( £1200.00 to cover 5 weeks because I had Angina and it had not been treated :-( ...... (Cos I was waiting for treatment) Non smoker for life. Non excessive drinker, social drinker with a meal only Followed the sensible food guide ..... ... but I still got clobbered with operations. HOWEVER, when I was last cleared, I asked if it was for another 74 years and they said 'Don't see why not' Triumph Bonneville T100 coming up ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
