If you are able to get cover, it would be worth making sure that it is actually going to cover for the secenario that you have identified as the risk. An excess of say £100 to £150 for a family holiday insurance does not seem excessive IMO.
Thanks for the advice. Travel insurance has got a lot more expensive than the last time I bought it. I can't see the point of it for a trip to France as I can use my E111 if I am taken ill. There are no flights to be cancelled or expensive hotels so I can't really see why I am paying it except for the cost of the ferry and the cottage I am renting. They all seem to be based on flying. I have RAC defacto 5* breakdown cover for the trip which covers onward travel, hotels and return to the UK with no limit recovery on my 19 year old MGF which is more than anyone else would offer. I think any excess is a downright liberty the money they charge.
