What travel insurance - Gold Standard

Considering what a group of pikeys and workshy dodgers this has become
this is a long shot.... but who provides the very best world travel
insurance policies. Gold Standard. Everything covered including pre
existing. Proper help when it goes titsup. The works.

Anyone know?

 

Gold?

You fucking cheapskate.

https://www.direct-travel.co.uk/ have a platinum level cover

They cover motorcycle riding in their standard T&Cs and don't worry about

Whether they'll cover your manky, accident prone, near corpse is another
thing, although they say they might

Oh, hang on ....

 

Oh yes, but:

This works the other way too.

An old geezer in a pub I drink in had a collapse ( I don't know what it
was, but it was *bad*) and was at deaths door in Madeira. The insurance
company insisted on flying him home in an air ambulance against the
advice of the doctors treating him and to the horror of the medical
people who were flown out to accompany him home. The reason cost. They
were prepared to risk his life flying him home rather than pay for the
intensive care, which could have gone on for weeks.
