Anyone have recent recommendations re Travel Insurance for touring. I know there are lots of variables ie age destinations, health status, length annual/single trip. Got a couple of quotes from LV and Insureandgo. I’m thinking Europe/Asia/Oceania excluding USA 90 days plus.
Thanks
Ian
Just back from UK coast to coast. Great fun. Testing in places but over Swaledale at night it was awesome!

Check out The Post Office travel insurance, I have used it in the past for a couple of several month cycle tours although the usual caveat of read the small print applies.

Thanks for this.  Other "specialist" insurance companies were quoting me about £500 for a 3 month tour.  The PO has just quoted me £150 which I am taking.

Age 60, 3 months in Europe.

We have used Post Office insurance in the past - no problems, tho' never tested as no claims.

When we renewed our EU travel insurance last August, cost was quite high - aged 76, some medical issues.  But one insurance company, I cannot recall which, when I checked the 'covered/not covered' sections, would only insure us for cycling on 'tarmac / asphalt' roads.  I queried this - not full off-road tracks but what about established Euro-Velo type routes, Voie Vertes, walk/cycle trails with gravel surfaces?

No, they wouldn't budge - had to be tarmac surface.  So we eventually insured with Staysure, best deal for our circumstances / needs.

Many thanks  Lewis.
It's a real.minefield re options etc.

I checked out Post office and Staysure.

Long story short, I've gone for the PO since Staysure only cover for 35 days and.my Thailand trip is 50 days.
But I think I will go for Staysure later in the year and take out an annual policy to cover further tours of less than 35 days.

Many thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Best

Matt
