Story link: Consumers advised to browse for best travel insurance

Research conducted by moneysupermarket.com has discovered that annual travel insurance can be friendlier on your wallet than single trip coverage for individuals who enjoy winter sports whilst on holiday.

Insurance research chief, Peter Gerrard, explains that the myth of single trip policies being cheaper has been destroyed by the research, and advises consumers to browse thoroughly for the best deal.

Gerrard also states that not only should cost be checked, but also the payouts for potential problems, particularly medical bills which can be both essential and very expensive.

The website highlights the case of Flexicover Direct, which can offer insurance for a family of four embarking on multiple holidays for under £60.

By contrast, the lowest cost of a single week of cover is higher, at £61.
