My wife and I have annual travel insurance though Direct Line but pre-existing conditions are not covered.

I was checking around to get some new quotes for Annual Travel insurance and these seem to be around £100-£120 but don't cover anything to do with the bowel cancer.

I phoned one company and they wanted and additinal £960 to cover the bowel cancer!

Hopefully good news is that we bank with NatWest and they have a gold card which costs £12.95 a month but includes breadown cover and worldwide travel insurance. I phoned them and they will cover me for the bowel cancer for an additional premium of £70 a year.

This seems like a really good deal, has anyone else had similar experiences with quotes for Travel Insurance?

Regards

I use MEDICI TRAVEL, got them off the Mac site. Anywhere in the Euro zone £67 per trip, and the lung cancer IS covered. Good company, have used them 6 or 7 times, Direct line wanted £600, robbing bandits. The banks are a con, ruling out existing conditions.

Good luck, Bill xxxx

Hi Jenham, one of the questions Medici ask is are you waiting for chemo or radio or further investigations so all you can do is contact them and ask. Each case is taken on it's own merits. Good luck, I hope you get your holiday, build your strength up ready to do battle.

Love Billx

Thanks for your tips.
