Paris for a few days - best travel insurance?

[LittleTyga]

Taking my two little darlings to Paris for a few days. We are going by Eurostar and staying in a hotel close to Gare Du Nord. Planning on doing a day at Disneyland and another day seeing the sights. I know Eurostar do travel insurance but thought I'd ask you all if there was a better option?

I am totally rubbish and can't remember who we got our insurance with but cost £10 for me and 2 kids for a week in France. Think I used money supermarket. Have you checked your bank account as some accounts include travel insurance.

Try moneysupermarket/gocompare/comparethemarket or whatever, but make sure you check you are comparing like-for-like in terms of levels of cover - there can be big differences in single-item limits, total for baggage etc.

Also, if you are planning another holiday abroad within 12 months it might be worth looking at annual policies. I have an annual one for me & two DCs which covers us for world excluding US/Canada for about £80 a year - much cheaper than buying single trip for us as we are spending about 4 weeks outside the UK this year.

Should also say that whatever insurance you are offered with a package deal will almost certainly be overpriced, so definitely shop around for better value.

Parno - Oh yes my bank - forgot about that option!

exexpat thank you too will look at moneysupermarket - might be going away during summer holidays so good tip about longer cover. Yes I thought Eurostar will cover us for the train but not the days we are in Paris and thought £20 a bit steep?

Thank you both for the advice.

Most annual cover also does stays in the UK over a couple of days. I have more things lost over here than when abroad.
