Insurance

From the very beginning it was clear that the problem wasn't easily solved. All the insurance packages seem to be made for students backpackers or retired people who go to Lanzarote for two weeks. Families going on holidays for three weeks at the time are also catered for, but backpacking families are definitely out of any scheme. In the end we had to go through a local broker, O'Leary Insurances that found a tailored made solution to our problems: a policy that will cover medical expenses for the eight months up to 6.350.000 per person, repatriation, but even covers luggage, passports, credit cards, cancellation, legal fees and civil responsibility up to 2,5M E. It covers even activities like skiing and scuba diving. Last but not least, we'll have a person on the other side of the phone to deal with if things go wrong. Always better than dealing with an agency in England where every time you ring up you deal with a different person after having being put on hold for ages. Total cost 1000e.
