Most of the insurance I've bought m'son recently has been through Compare sites. As the Name suggests one can compare all the offers by price, excess, and free Meercat toys.

look on moneysupermarket.com 

Could you possibly be insured through your bank?  If not, try Direct Line.  

Thanks guys will check them in the morning 

Night chuck

I am not sure Aimee I have an awful job trying to  get travel insurance I go with whoever will  take me lol it is best to look around and get a good cover deal..good luck 

Try the Post Office Aimee, for standard cover it should be around £30 or so x

Edit.. will she still be under 18 then? If so that will put the premium up slightly 

yes she'll still be 17, i'll have a look at the post office though, thanks 

IMO, it would  be best to take full cover, this includes loss of money , luggage and medical care x There are so many travel insurance sites  Good luck, and i bet she is so looking forward to going!

Thanks  yes i want her too be covered for everything, she is looking forward to it but we are having to check all the cost's before we are sure she can go, she has been offered the place as a reward for her volunteer work (the trip is too teach kids abroad sport) but this so called reward had too be paid for by the parent  the trip is £550 for a week B & B only  and they have just told us they want £450 deposit non refundable by the 16th Dec  so at the minute we are abit unsure weather we can afford it

My goodness Aimee, thats a big deposit, especially at this time of year. 

isn't it just  daughter doesn't seem too understand this though 

I know! Can you discuss with someone the level of deposit ?  Maybe come to some sort of arrangement ??

I've spoke too the college and they are looking into it   i've always hated that school's etc do this, imo they should discuss trips with the parents before telling the kids about them

Yes i agree Aimee, good luck x
