Paul's advice* for when looking and comparing providers;

- What happens when you are abroad to contact them, do they international toll-free / freephone telephone numbers for you to call for assistance?
- What type of travel insurance are you after? Are you after Single Trip, Annual, European, North American, Backpacker or Winter Sports cover?
- If you need questions answered prior to purchasing the policy, are you able call, email them or even have a web chat with the insurer or broker?
- What does your policy really cover? Does it cover you for medical assistance, cancellations, missed flight etc.
- What excess are you having to pay for? If you pay more excess this can lower your insurance quote, to ensure you get the cheapest travel insurance quote possible.
- Have you suffered from any illness previously, if you do not declare this and your medical arises whilst your on holiday or vacation, this can null your insurance policy. One group of people that need to be aware are those that have had cancer in the past.
- Some insurers shy away from insurers shy away from providing travel insurance to over 65s, you will need to find a specialist insurer that will provide you with a policy, http://www.search4travelwebsites.com offers a number of insurers providing policies to over 65s.
