John and Anita Joyce are quids in -they got their travel insurance for less than half the price they had been quoted for a trip to see the family in America. "We were planning a month-long trip to the States for our grandson Eero's first birthday," says Anita from Knaresboro­ugh in North Yorkshire.

"I knew travel insurance would be more expensive than for trips in Europe as medical costs are high in America.

"But when I got quoted £250 from an insurer a friend recommende­d I thought that was a bit high, especially as we are both in good health."

COMPARE AND SAVE

Anita, 65, decided to have a look around to see if she could find a better deal for her and John, 70.

"I came across PayingTooM­uch.com and gave them a call. We went through a detailed list of questions and they came up with a figure of just £107. I asked if that was each and they said no for both of you.

"I was surprised and suspicious.

"I made them go through all the details again to make sure they had all the necessary informatio­n for our month-long trip. It was all correct.

"Every penny counts when you are going on holiday. But I wanted to make sure we had the right cover for such a big trip. I didn’t want to save money and end up out of pocket further down the line.

PEACE OF MIND

"But the cover we had was even better more thorough than that of the original quote I had been given. It was worth a tiny bit of effort from me, research on the internet and making a quick phone call. I do shop around a bit when buying things and have recommende­d PayingTooM­uch to friends, especially one who travels to the States regularly."

Anita and John have just returned from their holiday. We had a fantastic time. It was so lovely to see the family and be with our grandson on his birthday"
