Not wanting to rely on the AMEX Platinum insurance I am looking this week to purchase worldwide annual travel insurance (up to 45 days per trip / excl wintersports) as a couple.
Moneysupermarket.com has efforts from £40 upwards (incl. Columbus for £45) but I am vying towards a more comprehensive policy (not much good info coming through FT search), can anyone recommend a
good UK provider with decent levels of cover? (Amex look expensive at £170ish, are Greenbee any good, they are quoting me £110ish?)
