Pros and cons
AXA
Pros
- Broad range of insurance types in one place, from auto and home to travel, dental and home emergency
- Monthly payments are available, which many insurers on the site do not offer
- Business lines cover public liability, professional indemnity and employers liability for SMEs, sole traders and the self-employed
Cons
- Premium from £275 is well above the site median of €8.37
- Support runs on help centre and phone only, so there is no listed chat or email route
TravelSecure
Pros
- Premiums start at €5, which keeps entry pricing accessible for travel cover.
- Excess starts at €25, giving a clear retention figure before you commit.
- Insurer status through insurer keeps underwriting and claims under the same carrier.
Cons
- Monthly payments are unavailable, so you cannot spread costs across the term.
- Cover centres on travel, so you cannot bundle other household risks in the same place.
- Support runs on phone and help centre only, so you cannot use live chat or email for help.
Who each suits
AXA
Who it suits
- Households insuring a car, home, renters, landlord, van, health, dental, travel or breakdown cover with the same provider
- SMEs, sole traders and self-employed needing public liability, professional indemnity or employers liability
- Buyers comfortable paying above the typical entry price for a wide range of cover in one place
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers chasing the lowest entry premium, since £275 sits far above €8.37
- Anyone who needs live chat or email support, as help centre and phone covers only a help centre and phone
- Good Sam Insurance Agency is worth a look for a different spread of personal types, including life and motorcycle
TravelSecure
Who it suits
- Seniors who want dedicated travel cover with phone support and clear starting premiums.
- Travellers who prefer an insurer model and are comfortable paying the term in full.
Who should look elsewhere
- Travellers who want to spread costs should consider AXA, as Monthly payments are unavailable with TravelSecure.
- Travellers who want intermediary choice should consider Explorer Travel Insurance, as TravelSecure acts as an insurer rather than a broker.

Questions about each
AXA
What is the cheapest premium AXA offers?+
Premium from £275 is the entry figure across the personal range. That sits well above the site median of €8.37, so AXA is not the low end of this market. A quote depends on your cover type and details.
Can I pay monthly rather than yearly?+
Yes, monthly payments are available across the products AXA covers here. Most brands in this comparison also offer monthly payments, so it is a common feature rather than a reason to pick one provider over another.
TravelSecure
What does TravelSecure travel cover cost to start?+
Premiums start at €5 for travel cover, with excess at €25. Monthly payments are unavailable, so you pay for the selected term in full. Check the chosen tariff before you commit, as the payable amount varies with trip length and options.
How does the excess work on a claim?+
Excess starts at €25 on the relevant travel tariff. You carry that share of each valid claim, while the insurer carries the balance under the terms. Review the excess that applies to cancellation, medical and baggage sections before you buy.
