Can you get good travel insurance that’s cheap?



Looking for good, reliable travel insurance that’s also cheap? You’ve found it!



Well, our name is a bit of a giveaway. We specialise in finding travel insurance that’s really cheap – policies that cover the things you need at the lowest possible prices – without compromising quality and security.



You may not realise it, but travel agents make a lot of their profit from selling travel insurance that they say is cheap. When you’ve just coughed up thousands for tickets, hotels and everything else, and you’re exhausted from all the planning, a few hundred more for travel insurance that sounds cheap may not feel like much. That’s what they want you to think!



That’s where Cheap Travel Insurance can help. We research and compare travel insurance that’s truly cheap from a wide range of online providers, as this is where the savings are. Online companies work with much lower overheads and higher volumes and pass the savings on to you. Shop around. At Cheap Travel Insurance and you’ll probably find a policy offering exactly the same benefits as the policy offered by the travel agent, sometimes even more, for half the price or less.



“But online travel insurance is so cheap – can I trust it?” you may be thinking. Forking out your hard-earned cash over the internet can be nerve-wracking – how can you be sure they’ll pay up if you do make a claim?



You can! The important thing to remember is that it is the underwriters who actually take the risk, not the companies that sell the travel insurance that’s so cheap. So look for a travel insurance policy that’s cheap and is underwritten by one of the big, international insurance companies and you can sleep at night. Or party all night, if you prefer. Or take a moonlit camel ride across the Gobi desert.



If you’re still not sure whom you can trust, why not look at travel insurance that’s both cheap and is also recommended by a well known travel company like Lonely Planet? They’ve been successfully helping budget travellers for decades.

I have used TID before and found there webste easy to use and they covered everything that I needed for a my trip at a reasonable price. I just want good cover for a fare price. TID offer this. Very fortunately I have not yet had to claim.

I have always used the same travel insurance company. I was planning to travel to Thailand for 8days so I contacted them for a quote. I advised them that I would be 19weeks pregnant at the time of travel. They provided me with a quote which was more than I had previously paid for 6weeks in Sth America so I set about looking for a comparison quote. A friend recommended TID. Even with my "pre-existing medical condition" the quote came in at 50% less. I was impressed and will use TID for future travel

have used CTI for the last 3 years, last trip had to claim on overnight medical & hospital expenses while in Bangkok,paid once we got back home & sorted out paperwork,also had to claim stolen wallet{pickpocket]in Kuala lumpur.Claimed online, sent police report & claim was promptly paid.We are using them again this year & highly recommend them but they don't cover pre existing conditions which is clearly stated on the policy.

sandra mccartney | 16/01/2012 <p>Cheap Travel Insurance</p>

I have used TID three times for my children and have found the prices very reasonable, the policies easy to chose and the support excellent. When my 16 year old daughter was on exchange and got sick TID were fantastic with their advice and support.

Halina | 12/01/2012 <p>Travel Insurance Direct</p>

I have used TID on several occacions, three times as a normal policy and I am now onto my secdond year using the twelve month policy. Their rates are better than any I have researched and the prompt service I received when making a claim was excellent.I have recommended them to many of my friends as well as people I have met on my travels.

Janice Sullivan | 11/12/2011 <p>Travel Insurance Direct</p>

I found the price from TID with comparable coverage, cheaper than any other company and I will definitely use them again.

John | 3/12/2011 <p>Travel Insurance Direct</p>

After researching several insurance policies TID had everything i needed in a policy and it was quick and simple to organise. The best part was the price....

Linda | 30/11/2011 <p>Travel Insurance Direct</p>

TID is our first choice in Travel Insurance. We have used them at least 3 times now and would recommend them to anyone as the service is great and their rates are extremely comparable.

QBE Travel insurance sucks

Don't do it.

My infant daughter had an asthma attack while travelling overseas and needed hospital treatment overnight.

QBE refuse to pay a single cent because they consider that a "pre-existing condition" - even though she's not even 2 years old yet!

Choose a different insurer.

David | 12/11/2011   QBE Australia

I agree with Chris, it doesn't cover much. They should call it medical expenses travel insurance to avoid confusing travellers!

Stephen | 9/11/2011 <p>Cheap Travel Insurance</p>

brad | 9/11/2011 <p>Travel Insurance Direct</p>

I keep coming back to TID as they are great value and easy to work with.

SJC | 8/11/2011 <p>Travel Insurance Direct</p>

I've been using TID for many years now, and have always been happy with the website, the booking system, the service, the communication and the price!
When I made a claim a few years back after my laptop was damaged and some of my money was stolen, they came through with the goods, and were very communicative and cooperative.
TID is the best : )
