Advantages: cheap, Cheap, CHEAP! good range of cover, discount if you remove some cover, LOW excess

Disadvantages: None........ yet!

My word HSBC travel insurance is cheap! I thought that buying it from an insurance specialist would be cheaper, but boy was I wrong!

I was in my local branch and I thought I'd test the theory, to see if it was as expensive as I thought. After asking the charming lady at reception, she directed me to a free-phone in the corner where I pressed "6 for insurance services" and spoke to an equally charming, if a little over enthusiastic, assistant on the other end.

To cut to the important part, I got travel insurance for my girlfriend and I to goto France for 2 weeks for £35! And the cover is immense! It's actually more than £35 but you can knock off things like curtailment (I didn't) or cancellation (I did) if you don't think you'll need them and save even more!

The cover includes £2,000,000 medical, loads of emergency dental cover, stolen goods (single item limit £250, which is pretty good too) AND.... the excess is a paltry £35!

As to whether it all comes off in the end, I'll have to let you know. I'm off on hols this Friday! (11th August) hopefully I won't need it, but if I do I'll let you know how they fare! But in the mean time, if you're looking for spankingly cheap insurance, you can do worse than HSBC!
