For anyone contemplating using this service in the near future a message on their website says that due to Brexit they are not accepting new business from non UK residents beyond March 29th.

I tried for April 9th and got the knock back when I tried to pay so had to go back and and sign up from tomorrow.

I suspect we might find similar restrictions popping up on other popular sites such as for travel insurance for example

No, European but you only get knocked back at the end when you try to pay.

I’ve used these for quite a while and I’m sure if this is the case it will really affect their business.

In addition to this and if you do get annual cover, I wonder if they will honour any claims or be an administrative nightmare!

Yet another hassle to deal with.

Site has been updated and now says:

In view of the uncertainty over the date and terms of the UK's proposed exit from the European Union, we are currently unable to offer non-UK residents a policy which commences after 12 April 2019.

Applies to all policies if not UK resident.
