OK, shall be taking part in a charity hitchhike next weekend hopefully, trying to get to Edinburgh to Paris with a travel budget of £0.

Think it would be a good idea to have travel insurance. Looked on Endsleigh and Insureandgo, but the shortest they do is for 31 days.

Anyone know of any companies that will do much shorter cover? ie 3 days?

Ta, Duane.

Try Direct Travel or Columbus, both have served me well in the past.

Both are more expensive than Insure&Go and Endsleigh 🙁

What do you want the insurance for? What do you want to insure against? I've never had travel insurance in my life. The worst case is you get an injury in France that means yo can't travel so you remain a guest of French health services until you can rather than getting an expensive medivac
