On looking at it, it seems as though there could be a few questions that need answering, ie Is the IOM part of the UK, if so most policies cover repatriation to the UK, will they cover cost in the back to England. If the IOM is part of the UK, then alot of the polcies only have small amounts for the medical side as they presume we are all under the NHS. Anybody else come across this yet

sorry slightly mis typed, should say if the IOM is NOT part of the UK, will they cover back to England. sorry

There was a phone in programe on Manx Radio the other day, and they had a insurance expert on. It was very interesting, I don't know if there is a recording of the programe on the Manx Radio website. His firm was offering insurance at £1 a day (you didn't have to be just living in the IOM). One guy phoned in and said he was touring Europe on a motorcycle, and would it cover him, yes it did. From memory you got £10,000 to cover hospital fees, and £30,000 for repatriation. I hope I am correct with this info, maybe someone else has the name of the company.
