Just insure yourself ..... and go!!

Advantages: Cheaper than others I looked at, good cover, quick and easy website
Disadvantages: They're an insurance company so there must be some!

I have used insure and go a couple of times now and have found them really good, I did make a claim from them and got some money back. Although it wasn't a huge claim, from some of the stories you hear of insurance companies refusing to pay for one reason or another I was quite impressed! Backpacker policy insurance cover I first used insure and go on a 6 month trip to Australia, and got a backpacker travel insurance for about 80 pounds. This was booked over the internet on www.insureandgo.co.uk and took about 10 minutes to do the process but obviously longer to read the terms and conditions etc which I strongly suggest you do first to make sure it covers what you need it to for your personal situation. Insure and go stipulate that you must be a resident of the UK to take out an insurance policy and have been in the UK ...

Review of Leading Edge

Covered what I needed for the trip from hell.

Advantages: Cheap and covered the children for free.
Disadvantages: Doesnt cover taxi fares or phonecalls.

be called back and they did every time within 2 minutes so I wasn't out a lot of money in calls. All the forms I needed were at home when I arrived back to claim and you are appointed a designated representative if you have problems to call them direct about the process of your claim.
