Best family travel and medical insurance for a year long trip?
My family and I are going on a year long trip across the US, NZ, Australia, Singapore and Europe before coming back home to the UK. Does anyone know the best insurance option? Separate policies for each country or one policy to cover 12 months? Most family policies are ‘multitrip’ and these are not suitable as we are travelling continuously (and independently). My kids are 6,7 and 3, so obviously we need great medical insurance. Please help!

Firstly, I want to disclose that I represent a company that specializes in travel insurance solutions. We offer over two dozen plans for various segments
Since you have not provided me your age and your spouse’s age I will have to recommend two URLs for obtaining quotes, comparing benefits and a picking a plan of your choice.
Option I
Minimum 1 year coverage required
Some plans can cover children for free
Single plan can cover you all over the world (US, NZ, Aust., Europe etc)
Can support continuous travel
Review quotes & options at http://www.zinternationalinsurance.com/ (ensure you select ‘Worldwide including USA’ for the question seeking your input for the countries of coverage)
Option II
Coverage from 5 days to 3 years available
Buy two separate plans – one for US only; and another for all nations excluding US;
Buy the US coverage for your US stay only; and buy the other one to cover non-US territories
Some plans can cover children for free
Can support continuous travel
