got 2 euro hols this year and am just about to start pricing up insurance, so thought id look at comparing against a monthly cost bank acc with extras.

the holiday and breakdown insurances can be compared easily enough, but i reckon i could probably still beat the bank costs by insuring separately. they all seem to have mobile phone ins thrown in too which we've never had. im wondering whether its worth paying just that little bit extra for this coverage as it says it even covers you if the phone stops working.

the moneysavingexpert site lists a nationwide acc as best buy with all 3 insurances. anyone got any experiences of trying to claim on these, as im just a bit cynical about ins claims in general, they all seem to have small print that excludes what youre claiming for 😀

thanks

The travel insurance I have through my Barclays account doesn't cover mountain biking. Winter sports, yes.

The breakdown cover also has some caveats for Europe, car age and the like.

So check for those if it is important to you.
