Compare Cheap Travel Insurance

When compared across-the-board, Essential Travel, more often than not, ranks far above its competitors when it comes to all-inclusive, cheap holiday travel insurance.

Refer to the comparison table below (February 2010), illustrating the comparative difference between Essential Travel and Jet2 Travel Insurance with regards to the return on various policy price benefits.

Essential Travel Jet2 Holiday Insurance
Emergency Medical Cover £10,000,000 (Superior Policies) £2,000,000
Hospital Benefit £1,200 £300
Personal Liability £2,000,000 £1,000,000
Personal Accident £30,000 £10,000
Cancellation / Curtailment £5,000 £500
Travel Delay £200 £60
Baggage Delay £200 £750
Legal Expenses £25,000 £10,000

As illustrated in the comparison table above, Essential Travel provides a much higher policy rate than it's competitor, so much so that in most instances the rate provided by Essential Travel is double the rate quoted by Jet2 Travel Insurance.

Essential Travel's Emergency Medical Cover, for example, is five times more than the rate quoted by Jet2 Holiday Insurance. Similarly, Essential Travel's Personal Liability Cover is double that of Jet2 Holiday Insurance. Essential Travel thus offers more return on your investment, leaving you with more money in your back pocket along with added peace of mind.

What's more, when comparing 'single person' and 'family' rates, Essential Travel, once again, offers competitively cheaper rates than Jet2 Travel Insurance.

Essential Travel
Jet2 Holiday Insurance
Single Person (UNDER65) Family
(2 Adults + 2 Children)
Single Person (UNDER65) Family
(2 Adults + 2 Children)
Single-Trip Travel Insurance (1 Week)
Europe £7.99 £16.99 £10.00 £40.00
Worldwide £19.99 £33.99 N/A N/A
Annual / Multi-Trip Travel Insurance (1 Year)
Europe £29.99 £49.98 £38.99 £69.99
Worldwide £44.99 £62.99 £55.20 £99.99



The large price difference between these two reputable travel insurance companies is largely owed to the fact that children under the age of 18 travel free with Essential Travel's 'Family Rate' policy package.

What is also interesting to note is the fact that Jet2 Travel Insurance does not offer Single-Trip cover when traveling worldwide. Essential Travel on the other hand, offers safe and secure, across-the-board travel insurance you can trust.

In addition to this:

  • Essential Travel is unique in that we are one of few travel insurance companies that offer extensive cover on a wide variety of pre existing medical conditions - ranging from serious illness such as Diabetes to the not so serious allergies such as Hayfever. Jet2 Holiday insurance on the other hand, does not cover pre-existing medical conditions.
  • Essential Travel covers leisure, business as well as backpackers travel whereas Jet2 Holiday Insurance provides travel insurance for leisure only.
  • Essential Travel offers an extensive range of Adventure Sports Cover - from camel rides to scuba diving, we've got you covered.
  • Essential Travel works with White Horse Insurance Ireland Ltd, the UK's No.1 travel insurer (Mintel report August 2006), thus providing you with safe and secure, cheap holiday travel insurance you can depend on.

  • Finding all-inclusive, cheap holiday travel insurance that you can trust is not an easy task, especially in today's highly competitive market. Lucky for you, we have done all the hard work for you.
