    easy to obtain a quotation for the insurance. Also i called the number on the website regarding further questions I had, spoke with Adam, very friendly and professional team member answered my questions with no issues and emailed me all information i was asking for. Thank you

    Pat CarnegieNov 10, 2023

    I am nearly 89. Many companies won’t give me a quote as they reckon that I am too old. Those that do quote want a large excess for cover on a cruise and have a complicated medical assessment. Travel Insurance Saver sold me an Annual International Policy at a reasonable price. Their website is clearly designed and easy to use.

    Chris RichardsApr 11, 2023

    I had a good look around and found this Travel Insurance Saver policy was just right for my travel needs with a very competitive premium. Other insurers loaded a hefty " cruise component", which is counter-intuitive considering trains, planes and cars/ coaches are much more susceptible to problems than the now stringently applied systems on cruise ships. Highly recommend.!

    My research found that Travel Insurance Saver provide the best value for money Multi Trip annual travel insurance that also includes Covid 19 cover. Thoroughly recommend you check them out. Very easy to book online.
