Advice please
Just been quoted £3000 for a three week trip to the Caribbean as my husband has been refused annual
worldwide cover because of medical
conditions .. ok for Europe but not outside
Any used a company that might give him a better deal please

It’s often worth getting separate quotes. I got a good deal with All Clear for my other half, who has more chargeable medical issues than me. I was getting ridiculous or no quotes for him with other companies for a 2 week holiday, but actually took out All Clear’s annual insurance as the quote was so reasonable. I then used the comparison sites to get a much cheaper annual policy for myself.

All Clear seem to get good reviews and I was very impressed by the response I got to a phone enquiry.

I used AllClear for my trip last year and was surprised how cheap it was, but also the customer service was excellent.

I would certainly use them again.

A bit off piste, but interesting. Last year I got a quote for annual World Wide cover. As I was 74 and fairly fit, it came back at £400ish. Then I ‘realized’ it would cover me going to New York every month, if I wanted, so I did a single trip quote to the USA, which came in at £128, then an annual policy without the USA, which was £99 with a loyalty discount.
I’ll be doing the same this year from 1/7.
