if going to the USA, plenty of medical cover (no NHS there). If you have expensive cameras, good valuables cover - though when I lost mine I claimed under my household insurance. Check it covers skiing or hang-gliding etc if that's what you do.

i found the post office the cheapest for short trips in europe

We always use www.direct-travel.co.uk and find them very helpful. Twice we have had to claim from them under very different circumstances and both times they've paid out no problem!

Don't use the Post Office. Their policy is underwritten by Axa and I wouldn't deal with them again if I never travelled. I have an annual worldwide with NFU and they are brilliant but they only sell to household customers as an add on

I used insureandgo.com. Thought it was pretty cheap. It was about �13 for a week for silver cover. That was a year ago tho so prices may have gone up.

I get a yearly travel insurance policy with insureand go, they are really good but you can only do it online

dont go for the cheapest, they probably wont pay out. A friend bought on line and had a back problem in Cyprus after a fall and they wouldnt pay up.
