Another holiday insurance deal
I read Judith Torrington’s letter (Connexion, May 2018) with interest as I had looked for decent, affordable holiday insurance for some time. I have a Credit Agricole (Britline) account with a gold card.
This comes with (among other things) fully comprehensive travel insurance from Mastercard and costs €126pa.
No medical history is required and no questions asked (even for a 72 year old!). Like Ms Torrington’s company, you must use the card to book the trip but it is cheaper than the Mondial one she mentions.
The Britline phone line is manned by English-speakers.
