Our reviews speak for themselves
This is my third time using AllClear
“They are quick and straightforward to use. They are also competitive, and will advise of the cheapest way to achieve your objectives. I spend a lot of time in China, and they advised me to extend my cover to cover both of two trips (of 5 months and 3 months , with a UK break in between). The marginal cost was minimum, but it made my second trip virtually insurance cost free. They saved me money! I am 70 and diabetic and take statins. A great find!”
