Me and my husband are planning a short trip abroad next year but struggling to find insurance that doesn’t cost as much as the trip? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Travel insurance forum for cancer patients
i have had good experience with Insurancewith. It’s a company founded by someone who struggled to get affordable travel insurance after a cancer diagnosis. I but quite an affordable policy despite having stage 4 cancer. The cancellation cover isn’t great, so I tend to book fairly late so I am confident I will travel, with the reassurance of knowing I have adequate medical cover in place.

Hello LKW28
As I type this I am sat in a villa in Turkey and know how important holidays are.
As my wife and I both have "issues" and our property is in the Asian side of Turkey, we need worldwide cover and have an annual policy provided by "Albert & Eddie",
My advice is to telephone for a quote as many providers use same programme for their quotation systm.
I hope you get sorted.
Best wishes - Brian.

Hello Coddfish
Yes, I am aware, funny though with the same diagnosis and the same cover- you can get different quotes!
