I'm in the process of renewing our travel/medical cover and I thought this info might be useful to some.
Our cover for next year will cost us £142 that allows trips away for a maximum of 90 days at a time. The cover can be reduced to 60 days or increased to 120/180 days. The cover also includes Morocco and Turkey as well as Europe.
This year the cover cost us £220 for trips up to 180 days.
This policy is from Comfort and only available to those having their home insurance with them. Being a combined travel/medical/house policy you can also be covered for leaving your property unoccupied for a maximum of 60/90/120/180 days at any one time. Details http://tinyurl.com/yfahk9
I've just been speaking to Richard Brewster of Comfort who confirmed that there is no upper age limit on the combined Home/travel policy. This very good news to us approaching our "Golden Years".
Incidentally we have paid £390 for travel/medical cover for a three week non motorhoming trip to China in April. It ain't cheap growing old.
I know cover is available cheaper elsewhere but this combined policy suits us. It gives us all the cover we need.
There are some who don't bother with travel insurance in Europe, we have witnessed at first hand some very distressing scenes with people with no cover. We have a neighbour who recently had to pay £12,000 to have a aged parent flown home from Spain by air ambulance.
