What is best world cover travel insurance?

I stay in UK and at end of month will travel to China and need to get travel insurance, probably annual in case I go off again somewhere in a years time. Previously I was with Direct Travel Insurance, they seem to have good cover and are reasonable, but do you know a better one? Pray tell!

Im with Boots,

annual, worldwide.

£125 for a family policy.

From my personal experience (I travel to China ten times per year for periods of one to two months each time.)

I like TravelEx insurance. They have offices in China, and they have always been prompt at dispursing claims I've made for travel delay. I've never had the chance to test the metal of their medical component though it appears to be robust.

Check out the insurance with the Post Office, I have found them with good terms and conditions and competitive in the past.

Susan got it right, TravelEx is definately the way to go.
