Buy travel insurance direct and save

Buying travel insurance directly is by far the cheapest way to buy your policy.

Many travellers like the idea of buying a policy when they book a holiday or a flight just by simply ticking a box, but this supposed convenience comes at a price.

Airlines, travel agents and travel companies charge up to 50% commission on their policies. So avoid high commissions and buy travel insurance direct as the cost will be significantly cheaper.

There are a number of reasons why you shouldn’t purchase through a travel agent including:

  • Travel agents only offer travel insurance plans that earn the best commissions.
  • You will only have one choice of provider as travel agents tend to have deals with a particular insurer.
  • Travel agents are not licensed insurance agents.
  • Be sure that what you are buying is genuine  – some travel agents may offer travel protection which do not have the full insurance benefits
  • A travel agent’s protection plan may not be backed by a legitimate underwriter
