Can anyone recommend anywhere for Travel Insurance, for 3 adults (one is 17) and 1 child. Best i have so far is the Post Office at £50. Thanks

i always use the post office- its good if you go away a few times take annual its well worth it,also dont forget your e-111,a lot do,

I also use the post office, but do an online search because you can get it cheaper. Asda also do a decent policy. If you go away a couple of times a year it is worth shelling out for an annual policy.

We find that if we pay a proportion of the holiday by Nat west gold card we are fully covered at no extra cost. I understand that some other banks offer this also. Its worth a phone call to find out.

Any sun anywhere can cause cancer - we make sure our children are well covered with sunblock when they go out now.

The sun index on the weather is not there for fun.

And as for going abroad - we took our kids to Crete last year, and both of them loved it. The oldest one because he knew where he was, and the youngest one because she could spend all day in the swimming pool!

And for the week that we were there, we hardly saw a cloud!

Oh, and travel insurance: Thomas Cook quoted £88 for the 4 of us. I got it from the website from the company I work for for £34, with better cover

Everytime i've stopped in this country it's p***ed down. Can honestly say neither me or none of my family have ever got burnt abroad, but have here. Think we must be more careful with the sun abroad. Not going for a while yet, but like to be organised. Probably have a heat wave here when we've gone.

Well, let us know when you get back, and we can tell you that we've had a heat wave.

Even if we haven't!!!

The best I have seen is if you open a Royalties Gold Account at the Royal Bank of Scotland and just keep a few quid in it . Enough to service a £ 12,00. a month charge you get the following,

!. Free Worldwide travel Insurance for the family . As many trips as you like.
2. Commision free money.
3. 10% off all brochure prices.
4. Free tickets for the executive lounge at the airport
5. Cheaper hotels.
6.Preferential terms on borrowing and overdrafts.
7. Loads of cash discounts on anything from a car to a TV.
8. 2 years extra warrantee on all electrical goods over and above the manufactuters
warrantee. no matter were you purchased it from.
9. Discounted share dealing service.
10. Theatre booking service
11. Emergency home help with plumbers, electricians etc. First £200.00 is free. on the
bank.

And many other benefits I have used it for years and would not be without it.
