We have used 1Cover and Travel Insurance Direct in the past. They are both underwritten by Allianz and they both use Mondial Global assistance.
On a trip to Vietnam with friends, they used 1Cover and I used TID. We needed to claim for extra flights due to a typhoon changing our plans. 1Cover was very fast and TID was quite a bit slower but both did pay up.
It was very strange as both claims went into Mondial at the same time but I was asked several times for more information. I think I got a picky assessor!!!
I have therefore used 1Cover since but do a comparison. You can find the websites easily by googling.
