Holidays in general costing more to cover when cancelled etc
More medical claims within my demographic
‘The drone ‘ farce at LGW causing delays cancellations etc
Weather issues like ‘ the beast from the east’ giving rise to cancelled flights etc
And bogus claims 😮😮 ... like sickholidays.com etc

How true this is I’ll never know and whether it’s a spiel they’ve been given to say but it seemed plausible enough ... or am I just gullible?!?!

Anyway as regards my policy I do have add ons which when we broke down the policy I can see has cost me £90...
airspace closure, travel disruption , baggage and golfing cover 🙄 ( which I was about to cancel until I found out it was only £1.94 😂😂 going down from £4 odd from last year! )
I have a few weeks to look more in detail at the policy and see whether I want or amend or even renew with another company.
We are flying with TC ( hopefully) and of anything happens with that then we are not insured ( although covered by credit card) ... is there any company that will insure ( obviously not on this particular holiday but for future) and is it called ‘end supplier failure’? Or is that something completely different?

I think I've seen another thread today about end supplier failure and lots of companies seem to cover it.

We certainly have it as standard with Staysure.

I note that you say that you have time to "look in more detail" but I trust that are covered already aren't you with only 36 days to go?

You think that’s bad, our dogs pet insurance has gone up £90 from £230 to £320. No claims in the last 12 months and he is only 5.

Yes we are covered. We usually buy an annual policy covering worldwide including USA etc ... I think I’ll put Staysure on my list to check out too 🙂

[QUOTE=mick;13952711]I need to be a bit careful here. At 73 I can't remember what I had for breakfast let alone all the companies I tried in May either on the phone or on-line.

So here goes and apologies if I've got them the wrong way round.

I tried both Axa and Aviva. One would cover us but excluded cancellation or medical costs arising from our cancers - what rubbish cover is that? The other referred me to their "associated" company All Clear. Their best price to compare with what I have with Staysure was over £1,400.


Like you if quote has less than 4 figures, preferably not starting with a 3 or 4 i would be happy, thats if they give us cover! Wasnt it great cover with Eurotunnel!

Sadly Eurotunnel withdrew from providing worldwide travel insurance about three years ago.

Yes Staysure now.
