spospe Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 If you have a Premier 50 current account with the Alliance & Leicester Bank, you will get 'free' travel insurance included (up to age 79). See the website below for more details............................... http://www.alliance-leicester.co.uk/current-accounts/index.aspx?ct=primarynav This covers for up to 31 days per trip, but you can have multiple trips per year (and it may be possible to extend the duration, at a cost).

Mel B Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Be careful of relying on the 'free' travel insurance given with bank accounts etc - often they don't cover much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enodreven Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hi, You could try Insureandgo, they were very competitive when we were looking and we did eventually insure with them albeit we are both under 60, but none the less they do have a special policy for people between 65 and 75 so its got to be worth checking out i have pasted a link below, hope it helps. I have assumed you already know about and have one each of the EHIC cards that were the replacement for the old E111 form, as they do provide a fairly comprehensive level of medical cover in the ECC countries, but do not replace the need for some level of insurance cover. Hope that helps, Braunston http://www.insureandgo.com/travel-insurance/oap-travel-insurance.htm hymer1942 - 2009-05-08 3:12 PM Can some one point me in the right direction for travel insurance.

Big Momma Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Safeguard Motorhome Insurance in Leeds also do Travel Insurance, Single or Multi Trip. Not looked at duration though but they do provide unlimited European Travel on their Motorhome Insurance so one may think....... (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 It is MCC. Phone headquarters at MCC and they give you the number. Agreed us for 38day trip for £94.25 and then phoned medical screening and we both had to pay an extra £10 each as we had either seen a specialist or had an op within the last couple of months. Total £114.25 and they will cover us for everything. I am 52 and husband 68. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel B Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 We've just taken out single trip travel insurance with Primary Insurance, £15.50 for 24 days. It also covers health care for the dogs whilst away in case they are taken ill or injured (not the poorly one though), with no excess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
