Once dad got to 80 only NFU would cover him without being exorbitant.

We've had to change providers in each of the past 2 years, started off with the Post Office, they refused to renew as our daughter was now 18 and they wouldn't include her on a family policy, switched to Axa, 12 months later they had stopped providing travel cover so we switched to Aviva. Policy seems to provide good cover figures.

Open a Monza bank account ( others are available) pay your £15 a month and get it included along with a host of other things

HSBC advanced current account for think £12 month covers any car your in breakdown cover, Family holiday cover and more.
I was always sceptical about how good it was untill I had a medical emergency on a cruise ship in the middle of the Aegean.
Anyhow contacted bank insurer all covered and even paid and cleared my ships medical account BEFORE we left the ship.

Just read the small print. All threse premium banking covers are quite tight on the get out rules

Had the NFU one tacked onto my Policy for years when the kids were young and travelling, it was nice to have sitting there.

The NFU also allows me to use a motorbike for travel... which is very unusual...

180 quid a year just to open a bank account!

NFU Mutual travel policy here tacked onto the other policies. It’s a Buisness expense travel to Brussels, study tours etc

Don’t think Advance does now, only for ones who got it years ago. I can’t anyhow and they’ve seriously moved the goal posts with HSBC Premiere….

NFU Mutual.

Made the mistake about six years ago of changing from NFU to a cheaper option for family cover. About 10 months later we had to cancel a rather expensive holiday due to my wife breaking her leg a week before leaving. The insurers did not make it easy and we ended up only being able to claim back about half the cost of the holiday, while friends who were coming with us and with the NFU got everything back immediately and with no fuss. Needless to say travel is now back as part of our overall cover with them.

NFU wouldn't cover me after I had an operation to repair an aneurysm. So now with SAGA, much cheaper but cannot comment on payouts as not had to claim.
NFU did have to pay out when I had to cancel holiday and were fine about it!!

It’s still cheaper than buying all the benefits separately
