Does anyone know how I can book travel insurance within Spain, preferably online.
I booked flights with Air Berlin online but unlike Easyjet etc there was no facility to book insurance. I tried calling but was held in a queue on an expensive call to UK.
I left it a few weeks and this morning managed to get through with a rerouted call to Germany where a very rude Fraulein told me that they would not do it saying ¨You had your chance when making to try and get through on the telephone¨
Any help gratefully received as still haven't received E111 here.

I did mine a couple of years ago through American Express online, worked fine, paperwork arrived in time & cover could start from the day I applied..........
Hope this helps?
If not, have a look at the Sur, I'm sure there must be travel insurance companies listed in there, they also have a website if you haven't got the paper surinenglish.com

We pay into and use the excellent state health system but unfortunately haven't yet received our E111.sBeachcomber wrote:Our Spanish household insurance covers luggage loss or damage whilst travelling abroad and our private medical insurance covers health issues so no need for travel insurance which usually has so many restrictions and get-out clauses that it is not worth the bother or expense anyway.
However we need cancellation cover as have already paid for hotels and air fares to a special event so no refunds and want the medical insurance in case E111.s don't turn up. Have also presumed (rightly or wrongly) that an E111 doesn't cover repatriation?

You need to be very careful about using a UK address for travel insurance if you do not live in the UK.Travelogic wrote:Tesco.com is as good as anywhere online. You can book from anywhere but you may require a UK address. .
If you live in Spain and go somewhere on holiday and have a real problem, they will only repatriate you to your UK address.
It happened to a friend recently.
