Travel Personal Health Insurance Forums

Jede

Hi all,

We have been quoted £170 each (two of us) for full year personal health insurance. Most other insurance of this type (annual multi-trip) will only cover us for a max of thirty one days per trip.

I would appreciate any views on if this type of insurance is worthwhile or necessary.

Many thanks

John

Hi John

It depends on your age, medical history and where you are going to I guess.

Hi John
We found it very difficult to get any company to cover us for a full year. we are two reasonably healthy individuals Shocked

We have an annual policy which comes free from our bank. Like many though it has a limit on the number of days - 60 I think. Where did you get your quote?

Hi Pat,

Same as us, both reasonably healthy. The quote was from Carefree Personal Travel Service by The Camping & Caravanning Club. We have variuos insurances but as you say they all have time limits of usually a couple of months.

The subject of Medical Insurance has been covered fairly recently. I have put in a link for you:

Thanks Norm,
Very useful link. My wife has just read the fine print in the quote we had and it excludes riding a motorcycle over 50cc. Seeing as we are taking a 690cc motorcycle with us I think it's back to scouring the internet ! Sad

Try Staysure.co.uk, I use them for all my travel insurance,. annual policy for 2 people under 65 around £75 you can extend stay to 100 days for about £25, they also take into account for no extra charge quite a wide range of minor illnesses. Theresa.
