Compare Cheapest Travel Insurance: Price Comparision
This is the third post in our short series about travel insurance. If you’re interested we have posts on Backpackers Travel Insurance and Travel Medical Insurance.
After writing the previous posts about how to find and what to look for in backpackers insurance and travel medical insurance it’s now time to look at the numbers and answer the question: “How much does travel insurance cost?”
So, I’ve put together this guide comparing the cheapest travel insurance. I came up with three different scenarios and then ran them through Squaremouth and World Nomads to get price comparisons and figure out which was the cheapest travel insurance. Note that Squaremouth does not offer travel insurance directly, rather it is a travel insurance search engine (but it doesn’t search World Nomads.) So, essentially by searching with Squaremouth I am searching 20+ policies at once.
