Don’t let the cost of travel insurance ruin your trip Shop around for the right policy and save hundreds

When you spend years saving up for that special trip, the last thing you want to find is that your travel insurance is unaffordable or takes a hefty lump away from your spending money. That’s what happened to reader Mr Saw, 72 from Cumbria, who had been saving for a trip to Malaysia for his 50th wedding anniversary.

Mr Saw said: “After booking the holiday, we decided to check with SAGA, and I couldn’t believe it when they told me that my travel insurance would cost almost £600. After seeing Payingtoomuch.com advertised, I decided to give them a call and spoke to a friendly and helpful travel insurance team member who went through the questions with me. I was thrilled to be told that the policy would only cost £239, over £300 cheaper than SAGA quoted me.”

Chris Pannell from Payingtoomuch.com said: “We use several travel insurance underwriters that we work closely with to ensure that our clients receive excellent value for money.”
