best travel insurance with volcanic ash

[Fru124]

Who does the best travel insurance with Volcanic ash cover? every time i run a request on a price comparison site i get loads of answers but none seems to state that they cover for this specifically and it can be quite expensive as well. I am only going to Lanzarote for a week and it seems to be quite expensive.

what do you want volcanic ash cover for? there is no known risk at the moment.

I`ve just renewed my year`s annual insurance with Insure and Go. After clicking on the level of cover you want, the next page has a section Travel Disruption and that covers ash clouds etc (for an extra charge)

boxtops - I'm pretty sure those people who had their flights and holidays ruined in 2010 due to the ash cloud were unaware of the risk when they took out their travel insurance.

Insurance is there to cover unforeseen losses.

As a rule of thumb Fru124, the cheaper the premium and the more tertiary type of insurance company involved, the less likely the cover will be provided.
