I just want to urge all of you to shop around before buying travel insurance and not assume that the company promoted on this site is the cheapest, or even sightly reasonable.

I had a quote from the MS insurers for £95 for a week in Spain. I haven’t been in hospital in the last two years or anything.

I then went to a price comparison site and declared my MS and asthma in exactly the same way and found a quote for £27, which I bought.

Just that really. Don’t buy without shopping around.
