There are two travel insurance companies we recommend.
WorldNomads.com (Australian company, but available globally) and Allianz Travel Insurance (US residents), Allianz-Assistance (UK residents) and Travel.Allianz (AU residents). If that fails to find you cheap travel insurance with all the features that you want, then you might want to try iSelect.com.au (AU residents) or CompareTheMarket.com (UK residents). If you are an American resident, you might like to try somewhere like InsureMyTrip.com. See below for all the benefits of each company and their cover.

ALLIANZ TRAVEL INSURANCE
Allianz Travel Insurance – or Allianz-Assistance (UK residents) and Travel.Allianz (AU residents) – was, until we became permanent travellers, where we always bought our travel insurance from. They are the only other company we would consider buying insurance from.
There coverage is always good, while being reasonably priced. You can specify where your travel is (domestic or international, annual or car hire insurance), and the dates of travel, and they will give you a list of plan options which you can pick and choose from.
iSELECT.COM.AU
If you are from Australia and you are not quite happy with the quotes you receive from Allianz and WorldNomad, then my last piece of advice would be to check out iSelect.com.au.
In the UK a similar website is CompareTheMarket.com and in the US a website like InsureMyTrip.com could be of value.
