...have a look at your bank account, an upgrade will give you free insurance plus other benefits.

Turned out we were fortunate a few years ago to have gone for a bank current account with add-ons, including worldwide annual travel cover up to age 69.

Since that, I had health issues resulting in 4 ops. After each I rang them and they noted the file and wrote to confirm. No problems.

To be fair:

1. The ops solved my issues. I'm sure their response would be different with an ongoing, chronic condition.

2. The account costs £12.95pm, so we're paying, one way or another.


The other main benefit is UK car breakdown cover, home or away, whatever vehicle the account holder is in.

For us, it's worth it.

I took out travel insurance  for a week in the USA, with cover4you, it was the cheapest I could find, £34, I am 65, have high blood pressure, and type 2 Diabetes.

My son also used them as he is Epileptic £28.
