Hi All
I'm looking at travel insurance for Jan & I at the moment and getting confused and frustrated. We are away about 6 months in every 12 so need decent cover but are struggling to get it. The policies on offer seem great until you delve into them and then you find most are very restrictive.
"Endsliegh" are recommended by a few longterm travellers including Magbaz but have a max period of 42days unless you opt for the backpackers policy, which is unfortunately only for under 35's.
"TravelInsurance.co" have a policy for long stay with trips up to 90 days but it's very expensive and the cover values are greatly reduced although probably adequate.
We have the usual cover most people have for holiday insurance plus insurance with our bank cards which we've upgraded. All these are very limited and if you travel seriously over long periods and outside Europe virtually no use anyway.
My broker is looking for me now but when I was discussing it with him he said a lot of people doing the same as us have no proper cover. Worse still those that think they have haven't read the exclusions properly.
Any advise gratefully accepted
