Annual travel insurance
Friday February 06 2009
If you don’t own a brown suit or tie your luggage up with twine, there’s a good chance you’ll get out of the country more than once a year.
An annual policy covering an unlimited number of trips abroad starts to make financial sense if you travel abroad more than twice. The key thing with travel insurance policies is not to touch anything the travel agent tries to sell you. It can be nearly twice the price of online insurers. The banks and the AA are also poor.

Save enough for 10 days parking at Dublin Airport Quickpark long-term carpark by avoiding the AA or Bank of Ireland for travel insurance. Skiing travel insurance is also much better with internet insurers. It’s €185 with the AA for a family, compared with just €46.99 with multitrip.com.
