Default Travel insurance...

Looking to get travel insurance for single trip to Europe in February, but
there are so many companies and policies to choose from! Anyone got a
recommendation? Looking for personal possessions, delayed departure, all the
usual. Particularly don't mind paying a few pounds extra if the excesses are
zero.

The M&S policy covers you from when you leave your home.

I could be on a hospital waiting list for a very minor condition (even
something not illness-related like cosmetic surgery). Indeed, the more
minor the condition the longer the wait (typically). To say that this
bans me from even getting a quote for any additional premium seems a
little harsh.

With the number of people who get signed of work these days for
"stress", this is another very wide exemption.

I dunno. But you were the one saying "the other insurer WILL/CAN cover
those". I was merely saying "no they won't!!".
