Travel Insurance Direct at Headlinehouse.com

We constantly review and revise our travel insurance direct listings here, dropping those that fail to perform well against competing brands. Those providers that we currently recommend can be found via our 'direct' link above. The list is limited to top performers, therefore those that you see are all worthy of consideration.

As you can see, as well as travel insurance direct services here, you can also use our travel insurance comparison service which, in fact, most do. Quotezone provides this service for us and you can get to our quote form via the relavant link above.

Despite the popularity of price comparison services, in the case of travel insurance especially, a good case can be made for finding travel insurance direct. Why so?

Well, travel insurance claims, compared to other categories of cover, are relatively frequent. Therefore, your chances of encountering problems if you select an overly paired back quote (to save money) are greater.

Because the key strength of price comparison systems (compared to travel insurance direct) is their ability to identify low cost cover, it is all too common to, almost by mistake, buy cheap travel insurance only to later discover that the associated cover leaves much to be desired with the effect that you end up paying much more than expected yourself when you claim.

Not infrequently with a high excess and numerous exclusions or notable omissions to what's actually included, claiming at all is a fruitless effort.

It is when you take account of this quality issue that travel insurance direct becomes a more attractive choice. You can tailor your policy more easily by going direct. You therefore have more knowledge and control up front of what you're getting in terms of the cover. There's also plenty of information to hand on the insurance company website to fully inform you about your choices in relation to policy features. The same cannot be said of price comparison sites.

Opting for travel insurance direct may not be the cheapest course to pursue but it's often the more prudent when you conduct an honest and carefully reasoned inventory of the types of features you could reasonably want and expect in your cover.

Of course, it is always tempting to use a comparison system in favour of travel insurance direct because it broadens choice and gives you a better idea of the range of prices and policies out there. But, the focus of these services on low price means that careful assessment of what you're getting is essential.
