How to compare travel insurance
The quickest and easiest way to save money on travel insurance and compare the best policies is to use a comparison site.
While results will broadly be the same across most comparison sites, they may slightly differ, so it is worth checking a couple.
However, those with pre-existing medical conditions may struggle to get appropriate travel insurance at a reasonable price using price comparison websites.
People in this situation can find travel cover using the ‘find a broker’ tool from the British Insurance Brokers’ Association or call 03709501790.
For comparison websites, we suggest:
MoneySupermarket
Compare deals from 35 leading providers
Confused.com
See how much you can save from a few days to an annual policy
Also check insurers such as Direct Line that does not appear on comparison sites and if you have previous serious medical issues consider a specialist insurer or broker.
