Anyone know of a good value travel insurance company for a trip to SA Asia?
Obviously a great price, but also peace of mind know its a reputable company/scheme.

Thanks in advance.

You don't say if trip is for business or pleasure, but if for business make sure that is covered.

I travelled for two years in the mistaken belief that I was covered on a family multi trip policy. Fortunately not needed to claim but turned out we were only covered on family holiday / leisure / private trips. Business specifically excluded in some ever so ever so tiny print

Another useful tip is to get an American Express card.

I have multi-trip/business/leisure continual travel cover included in my card fee. The nice thing is that in the event you call the number (its on your card!) and they sort whatever out. If you need to spend money on things you do it on the Amex Card - the same place to which one's reimbursement will be going.

Thankfully I've never needed to use it - but it was a major reason for taking the card (makes the annual fee look a bit more competetive once you realise its got a pretty hefty insurance premium as part of it.)

The Post Ofice do a very good Travel Insurance, it is very reasonably priced and covers personal effects, cash and healthcare.

I think you need a main brach and not a Sub branch.

Hope this helps,
