I'm English but have been in Aus for 2.5 yrs. Which country should I buy travel insurance from?

Question

Hi all,

I'm English but have been living in Australia for the last 2.5 years.

I'm planning to move back to the UK this year, stopping off in Asia, NZ and the US on my way back. I need to buy travel insurance but am not sure whether I should use an English or an Australian company. Does anybody have any advise for me?

Thanks :)

Answer 1

Rather than where you buy the insurance, I think it more important that you ask the question from whom should I buy the insurance.  Go to a reputable international company that offers such insurance to make the purchase.  You want one that at least does business in both UK, Australia, NZ and US as these are the countries that you may have to collect on such insurance.  You dont want to be making international calls all around the world if you are having problems.

hope this helps
