Hi I'm going to these 3 countries for 5 weeks, I need travel insurance since the client nor the agency are going to insure me, any suggestions?

I'm young and fit!

I always use Insure and Go, few times I have had to claim they have been very quick and no questions asked.

They do a pretty good annual policy too IIRC. Once was for lost baggage in Jamaica and once was for a minor skiing injury.

Also after checking the price on insure and go as well as brokers, check out your own policies.

What I mean by that, is you may have car insurance through a broker, home insurance, finance protection, etc etc, policies already in place. If you already have a good provider, they often do travel insurance at discounted rates since you are already a customer.

Also as peter griffin off family guy says, dont forget the volcano insurance. Insurers like aviva have comprehensive insurance that will cover volcano dust, most acts of god, airline/travelling delays, etc etc.

So was Fabrice Muamba.

Most firms who sell travel insurance will also sell business travel insurance.

As I've never claimed I can't tell you who is or isn't good. Just read the small print before buying.

Dunno why you think the client would insure you and the agent!!?????

You are not an employee so the clients insurance wouldn't cover you and why should they, you are a contractor.

Indeed so, but insurance is a valid expense that should be discussed for re-imbursement.

Very true indeed.

I spent ages looking at travel insurance recently. The big thing that loads of the insurers don't cover is cancellation due to strikes/industrial action. In the current climate, and the fact we were considering Spain and Greece at one point, we though this essential.

Have used Amex for many years, they are very good, but they don't cover cancallation due to strikes. In the end John Lewis and Marks and Spencer had the most comprehensive (and expensive) policies I could find.

We plumped for John Lewis in the end. Although Churchill looked quite good. I just looked at Defaqto 5* policies.
