yep actually I have been looking at them too, does any body know if they are reliable?
but I do know that for some of the backpackers packages you have to pay the first 100 pound
of any claim...
Also found a site called laptop guard that covers laptops

I always have gone with Travel Guard. Never had to use them but my main issue is medical and they seem to have a good package especially if you sign up for the optional package for Emergency Evacuation and Aventure Sports Coverage. There website is travelgaurd.com
Hope this helps!

travelgaurd.com looks pretty good. I have never used it, but it might be exactly what I am looking for. I need medical insurance for expatriates in Germany and am having a hard time getting it. I think I will try Travelguard, since they have already been recommended by one person here on TravelBlog so far.

So, I need expatriates insurance to get my residence permit here in German, in order to get married. I presume I also need some type of insurance to include evacuation for the times I am travelling in other countries. I dont do risky sports so wont need that part. Does anyone know if there is some kind of expat in Germany who does some world travelling of 20 to 60 days per year combo package? If they can really send me this thing within 2 working days after I apply for it, I will be very happy, because it will beat any of the service I have tried so far. Reply to this
