Hi everyone, my nephew has been diagnosed with grade 4 glioblastoma. He has been given the go ahead to fly and we are really trying to make a family holiday while we can. Can anyone advise on how to get insurance as the quotes I’m getting are costing more than the holiday

  • Hi  sorry to hear about your nephew.

    As you see getting affordable Travel Insurance can be a challenge and at times the price could be higher than the cost of the holiday. 

    Comparison sites tend to use the same algorithms so getting a clear price can be difficult and it’s not that unusual to be turned down or told to call the insurers. 

    It’s actually more effective to call a few insurers directly as this means that you have answered all the questions correctly and in doing this a suitable policy can be offered and price given.

    Do have a look through the 'recommended travel insurancethread and this New Thread in our Travel insurance group as it's where the majority of recommendations from other forum members are. You can also look through all the individual members posts in the group as well.
