Holiday Insurance?
9 Answers
Hi Everyone.
I'm going to Mexico with the missus in May. We have been looking at Holiday Insurance. It ranges anywhere between £60-80 for the two of us depending on what cover we choose. This is online. However, my Mum (who is coming with us) believes you can get it much cheaper (about £8.00 each) by going into your Bank. I think she must of got very basic cover for that, but she insists the Bank manager told her that it covers everything you need. Anybody know about this? Or, do you think she is wrong. I for one, believe you get what you pay for. I want cover for everything.
Thank You.

Maybe this is the type of arrangement your Mum has. Best to check with her bank rather than any other random bank.

I think it may be £8 per month at the bank.
Some banks have accounts with monthly fees which give you holiday insurance as part of the deal.
Lordalex and I are just opening one right now as it is much cheaper for us to get insurance this way as we are both too old now for our previous policy which was , like sherradk's, included with our house insurance.
Look at the bank's website and it will give you details of the policy. The one we are going with looks just as good, if not better than our previous one.
