"If you'd rather pay a high excess rather than a high outlay for the premium, Global Travel Insurance offers good rates" says Martin Lewis
Daily Telegraph - featured product by "Ask the Expert"
"Global uses a different business model to other travel insurers. Instead of increasing premiums with risk, it charges a higher excess on claims if a preexisting condition flares up and you have to make a medical claim."
Insurance Age - Global Travel Insurance designed for a new age!
"With an ageing and increasingly affluent population, people are more likely to travel in their 70's. However, cover is hard to find, so a product that can provide cover up to the age of 90 years and allow for pre existing conditions is welcome."
