Ours comes free with our CC and is a fantastic policy but that's no help to you Do make sure you chose a company that provides a minimum of £10,000,000 Medical cover - hospital treatment in the USA is astronomical.

we always take out a family annual worldwide policy through
direct-travel Ive always found them the cheapest - £74 for family.

I bought ours through M&S (which i think is AXA) we took out annual insurance for a couple and it was £110 total. and had that cover of medical as previous post.

Ours comes free with our bank current account. Check what your bank and credit card companies provide first - you might not need to buy anything.

If you do need to buy a policy, you'll likely find an annual one is as cheap as one just to cover the period of your holiday, especially if you're going for more than 2 weeks.

Places like Boots, banks, travel agents, building societies and of course insurance brokers all sell travel insurance. Prices and cover vary enormously so shop around a few reputable sources.

When shopping around do compare the cover they offer as that can vary even more than the price.

M&S

Not the cheapest but they turned round a claim we had, a couple of years ago, in less than a week and their cover is very good

Ive got a natwest Advantage gold account and that gives me worldwide cover, was very impressed with them when I made a claim for travel delay in Feb.

Thanks for all the different advice, think i'm going to go with annual insurance so it'll cover next years holiday as well although not decided who with yet.

Take a look at Asda through their website, we got a good deal with them and you get a discount if booked online!

The best i've found so far is from TMSM Travel Insurance from Club Direct.

Has anyone heard of these or used them before?

I can't see to find their own website though.
