I’m looking for good cheap travel insurance. I have a week before I leave for my holiday and I need to get a policy quick! I’m going to write about my experience trying to find a policy that will cover 2 adults for a 36 day trip. It’s a long holiday I know! If you ever have to look for insurance I hope that you can refer to this article and learn from my experience.

For every trip that I take I spend quite a bit of time organizing. I usually do a bit of pre-holiday shopping, get a haircut so I will look good on the beach and make a list of the items I need to pack. Before I start packing I get my travel insurance!

I am going overseas for an extended period of time and I’m hunting for comprehensive travel insurance package to keep me covered for any nasty eventualities on my trip. I like to start the process by writing down a few of the problems I am most worried about on my travel. This can vary on the type of trip that you are doing and the destination that you are going on.

If I was taking a ski holiday I might priorities cover for personal injury or damage to my ski equipment. This trip isn’t an action filled holiday, I might do a bit of snorkeling but my main concerns are:

1- Making sure I get to my destinations and home again in one piece (with all my luggage).

 

2- Cover for health/accident related problems that might occur.

 

3 -Having cover for any theft, loss or damage to my possessions while I’m away. Travelling for a month

 

means that I have a lot of luggage. I don’t want to worry about my precious laptop and camera!

Now that I have a few priorities I’m going to start my search.

Internet comparison websites really do make life a lot easier. I’ve carried out a couple of searches on Confused.com and MoneySuperMarket.com. The lowest prices for a travelling couple on a holiday longer than 30 days is about £40 pounds up to a maximum of £230 pounds for luxury travel insurance! I’m not going to consider the policies as I can see that the luggage cover values are too low.

Later I’ll need to check out the maximum single item cover limit for baggage as expensive single items such as laptops and camera might fall outside of some of these policies.

I’ve decided to use quotes from Confused.com only as I am pushed for time and they offer the largest comparison of insurers at the moment. If I had more time I would look at hitting up MoneySupermarket and others comparison sites as then I could get a larger comparison.

So here are my chosen runners -

TRAVEL INSURER Premium Medical Cancellation Baggage Excess

 

Travel Insurance Genie £57.20 £10 Mill £2K £1.5K £65

 

Travel Plan Online £57.50 £10 Mill £5K £1K £100

 

Swift Cover £62.19 £10 Mill £2K £2K £75

 

Direct Travel Insurance £72 £10 Mill £3K £1.5K £50

There is a £15 difference between the most expensive and least expensive policies. Looking at them closely it is going to be interesting to see what I can get for my money’s worth.

MEDICAL COVER

Medical cover for all the policies is pretty similar at £10 million. You might think that this is a lot of money but you have to keep in mind that it can be expensive paying for doctors and hospitals when abroad. Just as you don’t get to go to the Grand Canyon for free the US aren’t going to pay for your stay at the local hospital. Breaking your leg in other part so the Continent can be very expensive especially if you have to abandon your holiday and pay for alternative transport home.

CANCELLATIONS

UK weather has been pretty temperamental recently. I am not counting on a nice day for my departure so I’m keeping one eye on the forecast in case I have to set out a few hours early to make it to the airport. I haven’t noticed too many news items about flight cancellations but another bout of snow and ice could make trains and buses a trial. To be sure I want a decent amount of cover for cancellations.

Travel Plan Online has the largest provision for cancellations of the four with £5000. The first leg of our trip London to LA and I don’t think that a replacement flight would cost more that £2000. If you are planning on travelling business or first class you would need to have a higher cover amount for cancellations. For my purposes £2000 is just fine as my flights for the whole trip didn’t cost that much!

So looking at the competition so far the policies are level pegging, price aside.

BAGGAGE

It is difficult making a figure for the value of your suitcase contents…especially when I haven’t packed yet! Having written a list of what I will pack I think that if I lost all of my clothes, toiletries, camera, laptop and other gadgets I would be looking at over a £1000 to replace everything. The policies under investigation cover between £1000 and £2000 for baggage. So at the baggage hurdle Travel Plan Online has tripped up and fallen out of the race!

As Travel Plan Online didn’t provide a high enough value on baggage I am casting them aside. Interestingly enough Travel Plan Online had the highest excess £25 -£50 more than their competitors. If a customer have to make a claim for contents over £1000 the maximum pay out would amount to only £900!

Something to keep in mind for later is whether the survivors provide cover as new for old or 2nd hand value.

EXCESS

So the competition is down 3 insurers now with excesses ranging between £50 and £75. At this early stage I’m not swayed towards any one company so I’ll consider excess later in the piece if the running is close between contenders.

JUDGEMENT SO FAR

Here is my competition table after looking at the basic offers from comparison tables.

TRAVEL INSURER Premium Medical Cancellation Baggage Excess

 

Travel Insurance Genie £57.20 £10 Mill £2K £1.5K £65

 

Swift Cover £62.19 £10 Mill £2K £2K £75

 

Direct Travel Insurance £72 £10 Mill £3K £1.5K £50

I’ve considered price and checked if my basic requirements for travel insurance would be covered.

 

Travel Plan Online has been crossed out of the competition as in hindsight they would not be able to cover the whole value of my baggage.

If I had to pick a winner at this point it would be Travel Insurance Genie. Based on the bare facts their price is good, they offer a decent amount of medical cover, pretty good cancellation and baggage cover amounts too with a competitive excess at £65.

Next I want to do some research into the service and history of these companies and see if I can dig up any dirt on their performance! Stay tuned for more on my adventures shopping for travel insurance.

When purchasing a travel insurance policy you will need to consider the type of policy to buy.

There a basically only two types of travel insurance, the first is a policy that only covers one specified journey, known as a single trip policy, and the other will cover all journeys made within a specified 12 month period, known as an annual multi-trip policy.

There will, however, be a requirement to meet with respect to length of residence and registration with a local GP in order to qualify for cover under either policy. I don’t know of any full travel insurance policy available to a UK resident that doesn’t require you to be registered with a local GP, although there are some limited policies, limited both in the amount of cover and the scope of the policy that can be bought without having being registered with a local GP. The length of residency criteria can vary from no restriction, through 6 of the last 12 months, to the strictest of them being the last 6 months continuous residence prior to purchase, although short holidays are permitted to have been taken during the 6 months.

Single trip policies are sub-divided into short stay and long stay versions, short stay travel insurance policies have a maximum duration of around 3 or 4 months depending on the insurer and long stay policies have a maximum duration of 18 months usually, although this is often reduced based on age and destination. However, it is the norm that regardless of how long a duration you have paid for, if you return to your home country during the insured period then the policy ends, so if you are a UK resident, you can’t book a 3 week policy for a trip within Europe and spend a week in France, then return to the UK en-route to Ireland for 2 weeks, as the policy ends as soon as you set foot back in the UK, you would need two separate travel insurance policies, or travel directly to Ireland from France. Having said that, it is possible to purchase a long stay policy that has the option, at additional cost of course, to return to the UK twice during the insured period.

With single trip policies, both versions, the cancellation coverage within the policy, in most cases, comes into force on the date of purchase, however, there are some policies designed to cover pre-existing medical conditions where there is a delay of around a month before the cancellation cover becomes active.

Long stay policies themselves are sub-divided into two types, there are the ones aimed at gap year students, backpackers and other relatively young travellers with no commitments, and these have a maximum age limit of around 40 or 45 and are generally not intended for families, as there are no discounts for children and may be restricted to a maximum of traveller and partner. The level of cover tends to be on the lower end of the spectrum in order to keep the price down but it is not always the case.

Other long stay policies for older travellers or families are available, with a common age limit being 75, although it is possible to buy a policy for a stay of up to 6 months with no upper age limit.

Annual multi-trip travel insurance policies are intended to cover all trips you make within a 12 month period, beginning on the specified start date. There will be a limit, specified at the time of purchase, on the length of each trip you make, these can range from around 3 weeks up to around 100 days, although the limit will likely decrease as you get older. There may also be a limit on the number of days you can spend abroad during the policy period such as a maximum of 183 days, or in other words, 6 months.

Cancellation cover in an annual multi-trip travel insurance policy works differently than for single trip travel insurance policy in that the cover does not begin until the start date of the policy and only applies to trips starting within the 12 month period of cover.

Another aspect to consider when purchasing an annual multi-trip travel insurance policy is whether you can get continuous cover from one policy to the next, by this I mean, if you renew your annual travel insurance policy with a start date the day after the current policy ends, so that there is no break in cover, are you covered for a trip that spans the two policies such as one that starts a week before the current policy ends but does not finish until a week into the new policy period, another possible expectation is that cancellation cover would come into force immediately for a trip booked to take place wholly within the period of the new annual multi-trip policy if there is no break in cover. Both of these assumptions are not always correct, cheaper annual multi-trip policies may not offer continuous cover and in fact be standalone policies where only trips that start and finish within the policy period are covered. It is quite possible that the policy wording itself does not spell this out, so if in doubt ask the retailer if continuous cover is available.

If you travel regularly or are planning to take a relatively long short stay trip of say around 1 to 3 months, you may find that an annual multi-trip travel insurance policy is the most cost effective solution.

As well as the basic type of policy you will need to consider other aspects such as pre-existing medical conditions, whether you intend to participate in sport or other potentially hazardous activities during your trip, if you are pregnant will you be travelling relatively late in the term, I say relatively late but cover for complications of pregnancy can end at 24 weeks in some travel insurance policies, and few go beyond 28 weeks, but cover is possible up to 36 weeks of pregnancy in certain circumstances.

So when thinking about buying your travel insurance policy you will need to consider the following:

How often will I be travelling in the coming year?

What is the maximum length of any one trip?

If the trip extends beyond 3 months do I need the option to return home?

Do I have any special requirements, either medical or sporting pursuits?

If I opt for an annual multi-trip policy do I need the option of continuous cover?

If you have children, I would suggest you shop around as the rates charged for children on a family policy varies with the insurer and some don’t charge at all. Also the maximum age of dependent children allowed on a family policy differs between the insurers.

This is by no means a comprehensive guide to selecting your travel insurance policy, I have merely tried to supply you with some pointers on what to consider before parting with your hard earned cash.

Safe travels.

Before you go on a holiday it is necessary that you buy a travel insurance to make your great holiday experience safe. You need to be sure you have the right travel insurance for the destination you are heading, and know precisely what is in your travel insurance policy. Otherwise you could pay a huge financial penalty if things go horribly wrong.

A few tips to help you to understand your policy better and get the best deal:

1.Benefits matter: Comparing the quotations of the of travel insurance products is not just enough. Compare also the benefits of the cover, the exclusions on the cover and other product features. It’s useful to have a ‘cooling off’ period, in which you are able to decide whether or not the policy really meets your needs. If the policy doesn’t have a cooling off period you can cancel your policy for a full refund.

2.Plan it well : If you are planning to travel abroad on more than a single occasion in a year then you can save more money by buying an annual multi-trip – travel insurance policy rather than buy a single travel insurance policy each time you go.

3.Check the other options: Sometimes your travel agent or tour operator may tell you that you have to buy their travel insurance in order to buy a holiday from them, maybe as part of an inclusive deal. Only take this if the total cost is rewarding, compared to buying the holiday and travel insurance separately. In most cases you will probably find that you are paying over the odds for the travel insurance, even if it is in some sort of ’special deal’.

4.International helpline: Carry the international helpline number of your travel insurance company with you as you. Also, keep a copy of the policy with you, as you travel. .

5.Medical coverage: Don’t think twice in order to consider a medical coverage while traveling to another country. In most cases it is always best to take the medical insurance, even if you are going to a country with an E111 agreement. This agreement helps in cases of emergency, but does not generally cover routine problems. It is also especially important if you’re in a developing country with limited medical resources.

Before you get your travel insurance make sure you understand your travel insurance well. Read the offer document carefully. Take the time to read the small print on your travel insurance policy. If you have any questions on it, ask your provider about them before you finalize the deal. If the policy is family oriented be sure that it covers all the family members traveling with you. Buying duplicate coverage does not double your benefit. It wastes money and creates confusion that could actually delay payments.

Book travel insurance directly after booking your holiday, so that you are covered for cancellation. Make sure you know the insurer’s terms for cancellation though. You may be able to lower your travel insurance premiums by purchasing join cover if you are traveling as a couple.

Understand the different policies for different travelers. There are single-trip travel insurance, annual, backpacker travel insurance, worldwide travel insurance, ski as well as winter sports travel insurance along with other specialty travel insurance policies.

Whether you are traveling for business or pleasure, purchasing travel insurance can help save you money. It is the same principle that applies when you buy something of value like a car or a classic piece of jewelery. Should anything happen, you do not want to lose your investment in one day. Most likely, you would want that car or ring replaced at full purchase value. If you have purchased air tickets, you would want to protect that investment as well. Who wants to lose money especially in these dire economic times?

Ways that Travel Insurance Can Help You Save Money

There are at least three situations where purchasing travel insurance can help you save money:

• Cancellation of flights – If you or the airline decides to cancel the flights you are booked in, your airfare will be partially covered by travel insurance. Say if you spent $4,500.00 worth of air tickets for you and your family, and suddenly the airline closes down for business or cancels a flight for any reason, you do not lose all of the $4,500.00 because travel insurance will reimburse that amount. Of course the airline will probably refund you the money if it is their fault, but having travel insurance will compensate you for the inconvenience and trouble. Also, if you cancel the flight yourself, travel insurance will get you back your money.

• Loss of luggage – When you purchase travel insurance, make sure it covers lost luggage as well. Imagine landing in some foreign country with none of your luggage! While most airlines are efficient about recovering lost luggage and delivering them to your door, don’t rely on that efficiency. There have been instances where luggage was never recovered.

• Medical problems – You may be in perfect health when you leave for vacation but you increase the likelihood of getting exposed to viruses or bacteria either in the plane or in your country of destination. There’s also the chance that you could accidentally drink the local drinking water or eat contaminated food. Medical visits in some foreign countries can cost an arm and a leg so you wouldn’t want to spend all your vacation money on doctor’s visits! If you have travel insurance that covers expenses for brief hospitalizations, medicine and emergency situations, think about how much all these could add up if you didn’t have travel insurance.

Tips for Purchasing Travel Insurance

• Ask your insurance provider – If you have an insurance company that insures your car, house and other property, they may also offer travel insurance or they may work with a partner or affiliate who does. Because you are an established customer, they may offer you travel insurance at lower rates. It doesn’t hurt to ask. In fact, in some instances, you may be better off going with your existing insurer than purchase separate insurance from the travel agent who books your flight.

• Go for the whole nine yards – What this means is if you are traveling with the family, you might be better off buying family travel insurance instead of separate insurance policies. It also means that because traveling with children entails more risk than traveling alone, you may want to consider travel insurance that offers comprehensive coverage; that is, plane fares, luggage, and health and medical visits.

• Multi-trip travel insurance – If you make more than one trip every year, you might be better off purchasing an annual multi-trip travel insurance policy. This would save you the hassle of purchasing travel insurance several times during the year. Some travel insurance companies will usually sell you a 12-month package that is renewable yearly and this is a huge convenience if you travel a lot during any given 12-month period. The single biggest advantage of buying an annual policy is that you don’t need to worry about arranging for emergency medical coverage.

• Compare packages and prices – As for most major ticket items, it pays to shop around for insurance. If you know you will be travelling six months from now, don’t wait until the month before your travel date to do some bargain hunting. Start now so that you are not rushed about reading the fine print and you can make a more informed decision about the kind of travel insurance that is ideal for your situation.

Remember to do the cost analysis if you are ever tempted to skip travel insurance. Even if your ticket is discounted, say you paid $600.00 to go to the Caribbean. Travel insurance will cost about $85.00 to $100.00. If you are forced to cancel your trip, you lose $600.00 (restricted and discounted tickets are usually non-refundable or non-transferrable) versus the $100.00 you paid if you had purchased travel insurance. If you want to save money, put travel insurance on the top of your list.

Travel insurance is insurance that is intended to cover financial, medical expenses and other losses incurred while traveling, either within one’s own country, or internationally.

Travel insurance can usually be arranged at the time of booking of a trip to cover exactly the duration of that trip or a more extensive, continuous insurance can be purchased from (most often) travel agents, travel insurance companies or directly from travel suppliers such as cruiselines or tour operators.

Travel insurance often offers coverage for a variety of travelers. Student travel, business travel, leisure travel, adventure travel, cruise travel, and international travel are all various options that can be insured.

The most common risks that are covered by travel insurance are:

• Cancellation

• Curtailment

• Delayed departure

• Loss, theft or damage to personal possessions and money (including travel documents)

• Delayed baggage (and emergency replacement of essential items)

• Medical expenses

• Emergency evacuation/repatriation

• Overseas funeral expenses

• Accidental death, injury or disablement benefit

• Legal assistance

• Personal liability and rental car damage excess

Some travel policies will also provide cover for additional costs, although these vary widely between providers.

And in addition, often separate insurance can be purchased for specific costs such as:

• high risk sports

• travel to high risk countries

• pre-existing medical conditions

Travel insurance can also provide helpful services, often 24 hours a day, 7 days a week that can include concierge services and emergency travel assistance.

Just as we need to insure life, home and possessions, we need travel insurance against travel risks. Insurance companies have custom made plans for every type of travel so that you do not end up paying more if you are a frequent traveler. Standard plans offer risk cover for at the maximum for 90 days whereas a frequent traveler may not be sure of his travel plans which can be on the spur of the moment or premeditated.

Annual Travel Insurance is devised for those who travel frequently in a year. Annual Travel Insurance may appear a bit more expensive than a standard plan but it makes up with an extended duration as it remains active for a full year with one time premium.

Before buying an Annual Travel Insurance plan you need to read the fine print and understand the terms and conditions very carefully to avoid heart burns later in case of claim being filed with the company. Most of the travel policies do not cover risky activities like dangerous sports nor damage to your pets.

Another condition worthy of a scrutiny is that of an Excess waiver. This similar is to a deduction that most of other types of insurances have where you promise to pay a portion of the claim from your own pocket to avoid higher premiums.

Purchasing online travel insurance results in a saving of as much as 40% for customers. As companies save on overhead costs by selling policies online they offer reduced premiums and offer to cover more risks than they would do if you were applying in the conventional manner through an application. Such extended coverage offers may include home insurance and that of possessions. Buying insurance cover online actually translates into paying lesser premium for more coverage.

Companies have Annual Travel Insurance plans customized to the needs of an individual, group or institution. For example families that travel for Golf Tournaments often, may opt for a plan known as Annual Golf Travel Plan which will most of the time cover the risk of loss of golf materials as well as injury caused to a third party or any other liability incurred from playing golf.

For those traveling in groups requiring insurance cover for ten or more persons there are custom made Annual Travel Insurance plans for families, groups and institutions like schools that organize travel for sports events et cetera. Family packages are restricted to immediate members and for groups of non family members you have to look for policies meant for extended groups. Extended group insurance plans are less expensive and at the same time cover each member of the group.

Summing up, if you are a frequent traveler you should deliberate Annual Travel Policies and Group Travel policies if you travel in groups of more than ten. All policies have limitations and vary from company to company.

It would do you good to scrutinize the terms and conditions and go through the fine print with a magnifying glass. If you are fond of sports and/or indulge in risky activities then you may consider Sports Travel Policies or Golf Travel Insurance, which ever suits your demands better.

You can travel on business purposes in your country for a day or two or you can travel abroad for more days, for a week or for longer. In any of these situations, you need business travel insurance. Even though money is not really a problem, you may look for the cheapest business travel insurance company. If you need to travel; quite frequently to visit your business partners in order to ensure the success of your business, especially if it is urgent, it is not necessary to spend a lot of money on insurance.

Duplicate changes in this section:  Content: You can travel on business purposes in your country for a day or two or you can travel abroad for more days, for a week or for more time. In any of these situations, you need business travel insurance. Even though money is not really a problem for you, you may look for the cheapest business travel insurance company. If you need to go quite frequently to visit your partners in order to ensure the success of your business, especially if they are critical, it is no use spending a lot of money on insurance.

If you do not travel very frequently, you can purchase business travel insurance for a single trip. On the other hand, if your business requires many visits to a foreign country, for example, you can purchase business travel insurance for a year and obtain the cheapest business travel insurance. Here are some situations when cheap insurance can be a real advantage for you:

An unwanted and annoying situation for a businessperson can be to find out from his or her partner that their meeting has just been cancelled. The same feeling can be  triggered by a meeting that is rescheduled, but at least you can have the advantage of business travel insurance that can cover the postponing or the cancellation of a trip.

The cheapest business travel insurance is very useful if you fall ill just before an important business trip. If your company cannot replace you with another person, it can mean the loss of  a lot of money without insurance. There are travel insurance packages  to cover your replacement, including accommodation and flight. In this case, your absence will not cost the company money or affect the trip.

Furthermore, international business can be complicated. Many unwanted and unexpected situations can arise when you may be distracted and  equipment can be stolen or lost. Such losses can negatively affect a business trip, or they can even ruin it. Even though it would be better to avoid such situations, the good news is that you can purchase the cheapest business travel insurance that can cover the cost of the lost equipment. This type of insurance may include the delivery of a new replacement.

Nevertheless, you must pay attention to and do everything possible to protect the data you own, as in the case of a theft of your laptop, for example. A USB stick or a DVD can be useful for the storage of crucial data for your business but they can be easily lost.

There may be situations when you do have travel insurance, but it is not specifically business travel insurance. It only covers holidays. Therefore, if you really need business travel insurance pay attention to the policy you get from the insurance company to make sure it is the correct one.

Last, but not least, this type of travel insurance is necessary if you face a medical emergency. It might not be a serious injury, but medical costs are very expensive, especially in the USA.
