How to compare quotes for travel insurance

When you compare quotes for travel insurance, line up the scope, the materials and the timeline rather than just the totals. Ask each provider what would make the price rise after the quote is accepted.

Timing your travel insurance

Timing changes what you pay for travel insurance. Demand peaks around holidays, seasonal deadlines and the start of the busy season, and prices follow. Booking in a quieter window is one of the few levers that lowers the figure without cutting scope.
