travel Insurance

#1

Post by towny44 »

After reading about the cost and benefit of insuring through a Nationwide Flex Plus account, and after having problems recently due to additional medical conditions, I thought I ought to see if this would be suitable for us.
Well it certainly is, we now have worldwide cover for £130 less than our last Staysure European policy, who were wanting well over double (over £2000) for world wide cover, and that was only available until we were 80. NW age cover is not limited, so we are now happy bunnies.

Well John staysure certainly ripped me off when I was diagnosed with angina. Annual European multi trip with cruise cover went from £600 to £1200. I’ve renewed with insure&go for £540..! We’ll never use Staysure again.

We have cover via Barclays/Aviva
It doesn't cover for missed port, but everything else for £12.50 a month including RAC full cover.
Haven't claimed yet, so no idea if they are good or not.
Empty vessels .. and all that

LV for us who will be getting a claim for a missed port when we return.

We're covered for it so we're having it. :thumbup:

Just make sure that you have a letter confirming it and you can do it all online. Earlier in the year I had a missed port (well three missed ports), submitted the claim and 10 days later the money was in my bank - no questions asked

Thanks David.

Yes we all had a letter put in our post boxes confirming the missed port.
