For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Since an annual policy currently costs just £25.67 for me (59 years old, Europe-wide cover) I might take it out just before one trip but it will still be valid for the next ones anyway. (That's assuming that I actually bother with insurance; I often don't). Single-trip policies are madness unless you're really sure that you won't be going abroad again within 12 months. Even then, some annual policies are still cheaper than many single-trip ones!
Hi pusskin,
Always take out Annual insurance, as I take a lot away with me usually for my work, so get a family one, which is currently with our home and car's cover insurer, and about £110 for Worldwide trips ( get a substantial discount for having multiple insurances with them ).......so depends how many times you intend to travel in a year, pusskin.........may help to shop around for the best deal if you travel more than once a year. :0)

I don`t know about Europe Buenchico as I don`t "do" Europe but most elderly have medical issues and they won`t get annual insurance. I was talking to a customer the other day who was 88 and had been in California on holiday. His single trip insurance was £700 (for two weeks). I`m surprised insurance companies are not more elderly-friendly as more older people travel these days but at the end of the day, they are hedging their bets as to whether someone is going to cost them money or not. It`s all about risk.
