Good Travel Insurance Deal

[Joanne UK]

Egg are currently doing a rolling 12 months travel insurance offer of £15.00 per family for European travel. We usually pay about £21 per trip so I thought this sounded like a pretty good deal.

For anyone with health problems Bradford and Bingley do good family rates for a years European and worldwide travel. The normal insurance companies when you read the small print don't cover existing health problems to any real extent ( eg if someone with a previous history of heart problems has a heart attack while abroad because you haven't declared it) When this was pointed out to us we asked a travel agent about the cover that their insurers offered and how much extra would it be if we declared the medical problems - £5000 for me, and £2000 for my husband. ( Don't think they wanted anything to do with us
We were then told about B&B by the British Heart Foundation and sure enough following a medical check ( all done over the telephone ) we were insured.
