Realistic Travel Insurance Quotes

Less than one minute read time.

Hi My name is Ian. I was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma in 2005 and have had various treatments since. I am due to fly out to Turkey 2 weeks today for a much needed break with my wife and 2 children. The stumbling block was finding travel insurance at a realistic price.

I tried all the companies that were listed on the Macmillan website and they all seemed to be plucking figures out of the sky. The quotes I was receiving ranged from £224 to £560, unbelievable.

What a relief,the very last company on the list quoted me a realistic £44.95. So I just wanted to share this with anyone else having similar problems. The company is called  Insure Blue. I hope this information comes in handy to many.

    Thanks for that Ian. Travel Insurance is a subject that crops up on a regular basis on this site. Some of the insurance companies really are unbelievable in their quotes. At the end of my treatment I was quoted over 2,000 pounds on a holiday that cost 399 pounds. I eventually found a company that charged me 22.50. No difference!

    Hi Ian

    Just went to Turkey, with only the basics covered as could not get a reasonable price. My quote was £460.00 for an all inclusive two week vacation costing £320.00!

    Although blooming at the moment, I am classed as terminal. As such it was hard to even get that.

    Would not be so bad if they rebated part of the payment on our return home, if no claim was made!

    I will keep the Insure Blue name handy for the next trip

    Best Wishes

    Hi Ian,  I'm going to Greece on Sunday, and also had problems - the company I used before (Mia Online) wouldn't insure me for either Greece or Turkey - said the healthcare there wasn't up to scratch!  Anyway, I got insurance for £44 with Travelwith.com. but will certainly check out the company you mentioned.

    Glad to help. Just wanted to add that the company was called Insure Blue but when the policy came through it was Insure Pink. Same company though. Good luck to everyone.
