If I hadn't had medical insurance this would've cost me €450 or more for my 2nd visit - 7 days travel insurance including dangerous/winter sports cover only cost me £15 - its not worth the gamble. www.moneysupermarket.com are very good at finding the cheapest quotes for your purpose. Saved me £30 Pete |

With regards to health insurance, it's worth checking out every avenue possible, espescially if it's just a short trip as you never know where you can get cheap decent cover nowadays. I actually was covered free as a complimentary extra with my NatWest Current Account - I just needed to tell them when I was going - and that I had a full bike licence or I wasn't covered. Some consider spepnding time on a motorbike to be an 'extreme sport' and so you' best mention you are actually using a motorbike as your form of transport or you may find your not actually covered in the event of an accident! Tesco's do good cheap cover, but check out things like you bike insurance, car or house insurance, bank accounts or mortgage for snacky extras like this and you might find your already covered as a freebie. |
