Questions & Answers
Q. Question? which covers my return flights to the uk and travel around Turkey?

A. Best Answer: Try the local auto club ( RAC, AA ) in England, ( AIT ) in Turkey; I live in Switzerland and I am in the TCS ( Touring Club Swiss ) and I have an ETI travel insurance with them which covers me or my family any where in Europe ( the world for a bit extra ) whether I / we drive fly or train , it costs me about $70 for my membership and $60 for the ETI but it is well worth it as it is for all year and not just a couple of weeks like in England. Hope this helps.

Q. Question? I have read several posts here that they have got gasket problem and that K series engine r not good.i really like rover 75 and in my budget i can get it like 2003/04 model in really low mileage under40k. how can i check if the engine is not the k series and how can i avoid the gasket problem? is it a reliable car because iw ill obviously use i as a family car and i travel a lot on motorways. My mind is 60% set for Honda Accord but when i see rover 75 and the luxuries and comfort it has got i can't just ignore it. Also if anyone can tell me about their annual maintenance and as the company is down is there any downside in their servicing or availability of parts? What r they like fuel consumption wise.I have already checked insurance group is 9 for 1.7 to 1.9 am i right?
Thnx a lot.

A. Best Answer: The K series engine that causes the problems is only fitted to this in 1800 cc 4cylinder
other petrol models have a V6 engine fitted
hope this helps

Q. Question? hi,

anyone have a good suggestion for travel insurance.

I'm going to Barbados - I need insurance, annual, and will probably do a few more trips this year, including skiing ... so need winter sports cover

any suggestions please, thanks

A. Best Answer: If you are a US resident, Peterson International, an underwriter for Lloyd's of London, has a great program. Your citizenship and current location do not matter, only your legal residency. It's an easy process from a company with a great reputation.

Q. Question? I had a heart attack nearly two months ago. Can anyone provide the name of an insurance company who is prepared to cover me for annual travel insurance.Whilst I have had a 5way by pass the surgeon says i will be betIer than i was before when i am fully recovered in about 3 months time. Does any insurance company believe this and if so who?

A. Best Answer: Depending on your country of residence you may be able to find a multi-trip travel medical plan here that may not exclude your condition.

I would not recommend buying a policy until the doctor states that you are medically fit to travel.
Until then, use the link below and get a free quote and compare your options.

There is a phone number on the site if you need help or advice.

Q. Question? The situation is that we have a family annual travel insurance but my son is going away with his grandparents on holiday, does our current travel insurance cover him if anything goes wrong or would i need to take out another cover for him?

A. Best Answer: If your policy covers independent travel and the region and his age and length of time abroad fall within the policy limits then he should be covered.
