Recommend me - Travel insurance!
 
I usually just buy the same annual Multi trip travel insurance from Insureandgo.com and usually choose their Platinum Insurance But this time, before I do, can anyone recommend a better Annual multitrip (with dive and snowboard cover) policy?

I've just done a comparision with travelsupermarket.com and it would take the rest of my life to sort the policy comparison out! :)

Cheers,
C

Don't know if it's best or cheapest, but I always use the Post Office. It covers motorcycle holidays, which is something you always have to double check. You can read the policy online.

Check out your bank, we're with Lloyds and we get free hol insurance on our account.

If you're going to be riding a m/c make sure your policy covers more than just incidental use - and some limit the capacity of bike they'll cover to 125cc

READ YOUR POLICY TERMS CAREFULLY - if it doesn't explicitly mention it you probably won't be covered, like the guy in Morocco who smashed up his bandit and had to pay his hospital bills before they'd release him...

Renting a scoot on your hols may be fine, but a riding road trip wouldn't be covered by most policies...

Post Office does cover motorcycles over 125cc as long as you are on roads and not racing - and have the appropriate licence. Just checked as I needed insurance for my return trip to Thailand.

Yup I'd second the Post Office. When I wanted it to cover me for off-roading on big bikes in Spain, they were the cheapest. And I did'nt go for the full year either; just a week or so whenever I needed it

Travelngo for me n snowboarding but if your going to Canada isnt it a bit illegal to go off piste. When I was at Fernie last the whole mountain bar a few exceptions was on piste.

Maybe free travel insurance from your Bank may cover it.

Just used these, as recommended by Martin Lewis on his money saving expert site. Got the top cover inc snowsports , for annual multi trip for my family (me, the missus, plus our 18 & 17 year old lads) and got £20 via Quidco.

I use Go travel insurance, normally cheaper than others for me.
