Advantages: Cheap, easy to understand quotes and level of cover

Disadvantages: None

I`ve been with Columbus Direct for over 5 years now and have encountered any problems when booking or making a claim.

I suggest you visit the website when looking up quotes. Once you`ve entered your details, you are shown 3 different levels of cover with the difference of cover side by side allowing you to decide which policy is best suited for you- easy and impartial!

I especially like the fact that you can select a policy which allows 60 days abroad for a single trip. I find their prices to be very reasonable- i add alot of sport extra policies on (mountaing biking, scuba diving etc). You can add your sports equipment onto your policy- you will have to ring Columbus though. I have even rang Columbus from Italy asking to add "kayaking" onto my policy as i wanted to participate but knew i wasn`t insured for it. The lovely customer service man added to my policy as i on the phone for less than 4 minutes!

Columbus prefer to send the policy via email however you can select to receive a hard copy. I have found their customer service to be excellent. On renewing my annual policy each year i always get at least a 10% discount (you just have to ask).

I would always recommend Columbus for travel insurance.

Summary: Brill customer service, good prices
