Travel Insurance for contractors (Limited Company)

[AKA]

Hi all,

I've started doing some European travel for work & wanted to know if anyone can recommend companies that do Business Travel Insurance or review sites for Business Travel Insurance. I've never had to travel abroad before as a contractor until now, but thought it would be wise to get some Business Travel Insurance as I'm guessing my personal travel insurance won't cover me whilst on business.

Cheers
A

Have your tried either posting in the right area of the forums or googling it? Even the money compare sites have comparison pages for business travel.

Do tell us how you go on though. I'd be interested to see how you put a fluffy meerkat toy thought the business.

Useful answer. OP is looking for recommendations not Google results.

Possibly but it's dependant on his situation and what criteria as to what suits him. Recommendations for insurance are also difficult because you don't really know it's worth unless it pays out etc. The compare sites will at least tell him which countries, benefits and price is out there so he can match his requirements and if it's a toss up he can decide whether he wants a fluffy toy, cinema tickets or a fat bloke interrupting his meals and stuff.

He might have gotten a different response if he'd put 2 seconds thinking about where he posted it as well.

I'd question if he understands whether he needs it or not to be honest.

Guys - I think OP is after a recommendation and not a lesson in how to do a search.

I recently took out a business travel insurance policy through southdownsinsurance.co.uk, for a one off business trip. Admittedly I didn't have to claim but wording seemed to tick all the right boxes.

I do think that qualifies as a KUATB but the fact he mentions review sites as well. He wants a recommendation or a review site? Nah.. sounds more like he's not done any basic research first so I still think pointing out how to search is useful.

As I also said I don't even think he needs it so again he needs to do a bit of research himself first. Search is helpful for this as well.

If he knew exactly what he wanted and was now after a recommendation for the best company then yes you might have a point.. but I don't think we are there at all.
