In Travel Insurance why is there a large difference in premiums when the policies are similar? I have been comparing travel insurance for two people under 60 for four days in europe. I have checked the excess details and there is no considerable difference between the different insurers. The policies I viewed are almost identicle and where I have seen differences, they are negligible. So why have I seen policies with premiums as high as £30 and some low as £6-£7 (and the insurance is covered by big insurers for the low ones I found too). I looked at the small print and again from what I could make of it, there was no considerable difference. What's the difference then? What am I missing? and if it is as black and white as I can see, then is it worth me just buying the insurance at the cost of £7?

Can anyone recommend a particular travel insurance for these circumstances? My partner and I are supposed to be going on holiday in 2 weeks. However, his grandad has just been diagnosed with cancer and it doesn't look hopeful. If he (God forbid) should pass away soon, the funeral will more than likely be the week in which we were supposed to be going away. Of course we will not be able to go on holiday as attending his funeral is more important. However, I was wondering whether there is a travel insurance policy we could purchase which will cover us for such an event? We have booked our flights and hotel separately online. I don't have a credit card, it was all paid for using my debit card for my current account
