I used travelex and they reimbursed me for my emergency surgery pretty quickly so I’d use them again.
Allianz is great. They pay what they say and do it quickly.
International sos is popular amongst corporations
Thanks, though this is just for me. I just went to a comparison hub website and got the top result.
Where/which country are you resident? Thats makes all the difference...[code][/code.
US to Japan! I just went with the #1 result on the comparison hub travelinsurance.com…
what is travel insurance?
@dadarobot @Mountainaire A real life requirement if you dont have medical insurance in the place you are going to. Coming from someone who needed it.
What did you do? And how was it helpful?
@Mountainaire I've used it a few times for me and family members. I got pneumonia, collapsed lung and spent a few weeks in hospital including intensive care. Walked away with Insurance covering everything including my private ensuite room and some pretty good hospital food to boot.
Had my dad in an ambulance for an overnight stay in hospital after passing out and falling in the shower.
Dang, that must have been scary! I hope you’re both feeling better and I’m glad that the insurance worked out well.
@Mountainaire Also pay for an annual car hire excess policy (costs about 2 days of rental car excess cover) and got £1300 damage claim back from them.
