    Travel Insurance Advice

    I know it is rather late in the day but I am starting to run out of ideas...

    Basically I just need travel insurance to cover the flights and luggage and general personal injuries during the flight.

    I'm planning on taking out health insurance whilst out in Japan as well as contents insurance whilst staying in the apartment.

    Any ideas of who/where to look for very specific travel insurance? Sod's law will dictate the first time I fly without travel insurance means all my luggage will go missing and I'll end up getting hurt somehow or other and end up staying at a hospital for ages racking up a huge bill.

    have you tried Insure and Go? They do a range of policies so there's a decent chance they've got something that'll be appropriate

    My google-fu is appalling, but I've used them several times myself. Never actually need to make a claim mind you, so I don't know what they're like on that front...

    Re: Travel Insurance Advice

    I'm with some random insurance broker (can get the name of the end company if you're interested), £70 a year including 2 weeks of winter sports (not that I'll be using that part for a while). Paid out no troubles for a hotel when Easyjet cancelled a flight and left us without options in Basel. Takes the hassle out and if you go on more than a couple of trips a year probably worth it. Find a local broker and see what they say.
