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

    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  

    As I type this I am sat in a villa in Turkey Sunglasses 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  

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

    Kind regards - Brian Sunglasses.
