Good pricing for full cover travel insurance
Quick & easy online form to fill in, clearly shows extra add on packages for more adventurous travel (including my Kilimanjaro hike). Good price for full cover including helicopter transport in case of emergency (didn’t need it thankfully).

Quick and easy though a tad pricey
Was quick and easy, and is an insurance company who will insure whilst you are in the airport, but the flip side to this is they are quite pricey and the add on bits like a gadget are very expensive. I had to opt for a higher excess which I don't like to do usually.

Really straightforward process from start to finish. Clear options available, including cover for motorcycles over 125cc, which is exactly what I needed for my trip to Morocco. Pricing is fair and feels responsibly set compared to others I looked at. Overall, a simple, hassle-free experience that gave me confidence in my choice.
