Any ideas re cheap travel insurance?

Where can I get an idea of travel insurance costs before I decide to travel. No clues are available without details.

We use Staysure. They are quite reasonable even for long trips.

Ours costs a fortune - OH is on a cocktail of drugs. I will try this Staysure one - thanks for the tip.

When we had holiday ins with our UK bank account I was able to discuss the fact I was on blood pressure pills and I paid about £40 to cover this. But now we live in France and have just taken out travel ins for seven weeks - including four of these weeks in USA and it is just under £100 each - they are not allowed to ask medical questions here - I think they give you the benefit of the doubt that if you are prescribed drugs you will take them and they will work! It is all bit of a rip off in UK.

Thanks all. Will have a look at Staysure

I'm with Staysure too and I have several medical issues that they take into account and still give me very reasonable rates.

Thank you both. Greatnan - I will get DH to do a bit of trawling, he is better at it than me.

We get our travel insurance through Staysure. We have an annual policy which I think was around £80, and they do cover lots of pre-existing medical conditions.

My French Gold MasterCard does not impose any health or age conditions. You have to pay for your card here - mine costs me just under £90 a year - but travel insurance would cost me a lot more, and last year they reimbursed me for a burst tyre on a hire car in England, about £55. Have you tried shopping around the various card companies?
