that could go wrong, travel insurance was a pretty good idea.

I've always been a bargain hunter, so even though I had decided that I did want travel insurance after all, I was still going to look for a cheaper deal.

I went onto the Internet to see if I could get a cheaper quote. The first ( mortgage quotes ) few sites I looked at didn't do insurance for single trips in the UK, but after 10 or 15 minutes of searching, I found what I wanted: a single trip travel policy for the UK, at around £10 less than the quote provided by the travel agent.

I read the list of inclusions, and was happy to see that my list of potential problems was all covered.

With baited breath, I then read the list of exclusions. Surely the policy ( car insurance quotes ) would have a downside. Well the downsides didn't apply to me. The only problem would be if the trip was less than 25 miles from our home address, or if the holiday was to last less than 2 nights. Luckily, that didn't apply. The only other downside was that we'd have to pay the first £30 of any claim, which is to be expected anyway.

I accepted the quotation, and bought the insurance there and ( life insurance ) then with my debit card. Two minutes later I received the email confirmation that the trip was covered. I got a great deal, and it took me less than 20 minutes!
