    sorry but i have mine with my bank account so have never shopped around. Best thing i would say is phone a few places and check what is covered and are there any exclusions. they try and hide it in the small print sometimes x Also where you are having a long trip you might find it a little more restrictive x

    I always use the post office travel insurance as it works out the cheapest for me, we go away a lot so I have annual insurance.

    M&S are usually good too, I've been with Boots before and they paid out no problem when our flight was delayed over 24 hours!

    It's all about shopping around, make some time and get lots of quotes online to see what suits you best

    I can't help as mr wobble, ms wobble and I have many medical conditions so we have to have specialist medical cover. It is expensive but as mr wobble had a heart attack 5 years ago on our honey moon (and was covered) it is worth it

    I'd recommend getting an annual policy. They are often not much more than a 2 week holiday and will cover you for any short uk trips also after you long holiday.

    I use LV but post office are good too.

    I always go on one of the price comparison sites-as long as none of you have an existing medical condition,or has sought treatment lately for a new condition,then you can get a really good deal! We're going to France for 2 weeks and we got insurance for less than a tenner.
