Travel Insurance for Holidays to Crete. There are many insurance companies in the
UK offering many different types of insurance from annual cover, backpackers insurance,
working insurance, single trip and extended monthly cover. When choosing to get
your own travel insurance for your holidays Holidays2Crete always recommend you choose
the Gold Insurance. This may come out slightly more expensive than the bronze or
standard packages on offer but if you are unlucky to have an accident or misfortune
on your holiday you wont have to pay anything at all.
If you are unfortunate enough
to have an accident in Crete or Greece, you will find you are picked up by a private
ambulance and taken to a private clinic for small injuries or a private hospital
for worse case scenario’s. From the moment you speak to a doctor in Crete you are
paying for there time and it’s going to cost you 50 euros up front at least. Having
gold travel insurance means you pay nothing up front and incur no excess charges.
Its well worth the extra £10-
E111 and the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)
Its important that everyone gets
this before travelling abroad, it replaces your old E111 form that you got from the
Post office and lasts for ever. The card is used to provide free or reduced-
Travel Insurance Review
Review of UK travel insurance providers submitted by our visitors.
Post Office Insurance
Does reliable insurance at good rates, is easy to access on
the high street and on the internet. Insurance is provided by Fortis who rank high
in insurance terms. Our visitors said it offers good value for money, they have
plenty of different polices (including couples policy) which works out cheaper than
2 individual policies.
Go Travel Insurance
A UK based insurer has had some decent reviews, offers low cost
policies in a variety of different forms. Has won awards in 2007 for its website
and cover offered. Has tailored insurance for golfers so you can insure your clubs
and equipment. Been running since 2000 and part of Drakefield Insurance Services
Limited.
Flexi Cover
This company offers single, multi, annual and backpackers insurance. It
has been recommended as the staff are fast and efficient and you can usually get
cover over the website in under 5 minutes. The only drawbacks are it doesn't cover
pre-
JS Insurance
A very highly recommended travel insurance company, part of the Jade
Stanley group and all the policies are underwritten by AXA Insurance. Excellent
customer service when phoning for a policy and easy to use website. They do a multitude
of different insurance types that should hopefully should suit everyone.
Holiday Extras
Part of the holiday extras group, travel insurance isn't a major part
of the business hence limited options, more geared towards annual travellers, but
prices are not bad in this respect. Customer service on the insurance part of the
claim side has been reported as quite slow.
MoneySupermarket
More of a comparison site than dedicated travel insurance provider,
but this site has come up with some interesting comparisons and cheap prices, tailored
to what you need. Being a comparison site for travel insurance means it can offer
most type of policies.
InsureAndGo
A dedicated insurance website offering a multitude of different policies,
most users found this website to offer very competitive deals and very fast customer
service. Policies are easy to read and no hidden clauses. Pay out promptly when
required.
Direct Line
A huge insurance company in the UK, but we have received more bad comments
on this company bar any. Does offer very competitive prices, but when it comes to
claim, find them very unhelpful trying to charge you for this and that, they find
ways to get out of paying out through many many hidden clauses. Go with these if
you need cheap insurance and hope you never have to claim.
Zurich Insurance
Offer cheap prices on their insurances and will often beat lower
quotes, but beware of some bad customer service with this company and procedures.When
you get your policy make sure to check all clauses. Don’t offer Gold insurance for
travellers.
Endsleigh Insurance
A less well known UK insurance company but offers some great deals
on travel insurance, can choose from single and multi trip policies too. Can still
find a few Endsleigh stores on the high street where you can go get a policy. Pricing
is quite good on policies and UK customer support is a bonus.
