Insurance Brokers

Insurance brokers are go-betweens

It's their job - by law - to find the best travel insurance deals on the market for you, the paying customer, not the insurance company.

They could be a godsend, especially if you're all surfed out browsing the web for the best travel insurance deal for your unique needs - and no further forward.

They're worth their weight in gold if you have a particularly traumatic health history, e.g. cancer.

Blubbering wreck

You can let them answer all those invasive questions that might otherwise reduce you to a blubbering wreck if you had to respond to them personally.

Brokers can be specialists

You have absolutely nothing to lose - and could probably save quite a bit, especially if you have particular needs - if you go through an insurance broker.

BIBA - the British Insurance Brokers' Association - is the country's leading association for insurance brokers.

Register of Specialists

The association holds a register of specialists on every insurable subject under the sun - from antiques to musical instruments and every type of business cover, including Chinese Takeaways!

BIBA also boasts a range of award-winning travel policies that are worth checking out, including -

  • Single Trip
  • Annual Trip
  • Specialist Ski Trip

They're available from your nearest BIBA broker and are underwritten by CAN Insurance (www.cnatravel.com).
