I have my first long haul travel coming up since leaving Air NZ. Not being with the airline anymore I didn't renew my Annual travel insurance as well lets face it i don't travel so much. So i had to go out and find a one trip insurance.

The trip is to the States, and as we all know that's the most expensive destination for travel insurance.

The price difference I found between the different companies was astounding!.

I'm sure each of the different companies policies will suggest there's is that much better but for me when it came down to it I basically was only interested in the medical cover and public liability.

For this i could have paid nearly $500! for 17days or what I ended up paying $69!

So if you cant be bothered to shop around try 1Cover I found the best value with them.
