have a single supplement but sometimes there is a low single supplement. Our threshold is 15%. We also include products that are relevant for solo travel. If you have a deal you'd like included, please contact Simon Constam.

My Price/Benefits Analysis of Travel Insurance Public WiFi Safety
Hotel WiFi, coffee shop WiFi… they are all public and without a VPN you can have your
identity stolen and your accounts hacked. I use StrongVPN when going on public WiFi to do anything financial. StrongVPN also allows me to watch Netflix when I’m out of the country and get around WiFi firewalls in countries that have them. EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS
