Can anyone recommend a site we can look on for worldwide travel insurance for a couple?

Big momma asked:


We need it for 5weeks as we are visiting our daughter in Australia who also wants us to go to New Zealand while we are there.Most policies only cover you for 4weeks at a time and we are going for 5weeks.Thanks.
Thanks to everyone for your answers and A Happy New Year To All Of YOU.I will be checking all the sites tonight.

    You can just purchase an extended Premium for one week.
    Any company does that!

    BUT if you’re planning to go to A-N-Y Muslim / Islamic country the Rates will triple or quadruple and you will not be insured beyond three (3) calendar weeks by many Carriers AND Double Indemnity is OUT! No wonder!

    I use and have been using them for several years. I don’t think they are the cheapest but they have very good customer service (which I think is important if you need to make a claim).

    is it allowed to insure with two companies/ carriers . pay one policy for 3 weeks and i company for 1 week. ? not sure if this will work . ou might try aarp ? ask your travel agents . i’ve only purchased it one time in my life as our corporate insurance did provide coverage for international travel. you sometimes had to pay the bill but you applied for reimbursement once you came home and submitted bill. later the insurance carrier changed and we took a personal trip that was expensive so as a safeguard i decided to insure it. i think we bought it independently / googled travel insurance carriers or something. it was less expensive than what the travel agent offered through the cruise line.

    Get Virgin travel insurance – cheapest around.

  • buggerlugs

    atlas.co.uk or insureandgo.co.uk both are very good and cheap

  • parmamagoo

    or your travel agent can help you.

    is by far the best site to get quote for insurance in my experience, typically £15-£20 cheeper than say a banks travel insurance

    I’m a travel agent not all agents are covered by the fsa to sell stand alone insurance .also alot of annual cover only allows you to be away up to 30 days at any one time.you need long stay insurance .surprisingly the usa is one of the highest cost insurance so if you are travelling via the us you must always have the highest insurance cover .the remark about Islamic countries being more expensive is not really relevant or correct (turkey tunisia comes under standard european insurance with many companys

    Hi I am a travel agent, would recommend insureandgo on the
    web, would probably work out cheaper for you to pay for a yearly policy worldwide, and this would cover all trips for one year. I have always found them competitive and really quick when putting in a claim.
