Hi everyone
As it can be time consuming looking through existing posts for travel insurance recommendations I thought it'd be a good idea to try and keep all recommendations in one place.
With that in mind I thought I'd ask that when you've found an insurance company that provided you with cover at a reasonable cost you posted that recommendation here.
If you could put a little bit of additional information eg. whether you got single trip or annual, cover for a cruise, worldwide, etc along with anything else that you think others would find helpful when they are researching that would be great.
All the recommendations come from community members and are not recommendations from Macmillan. Please make sure you do your own research as to whether they are suitable for you.

Hi Mark,
I am very pleased that you found cheap travel insurance with Insurancewith.com.
I have also been given a good quote , even though I have advanced secondary breast cancer.
They have quoted £93 for 2 weeks anywhere in Europe upto 31days in Spring or Summer. We will probably go to Italy.
The woman I talked to was very helpful and took all my medical details over the phone which took a while but was,better than doing it online.
The quote is very reasonable considering other people have paid hundreds.
I will also be adding my husbands details to this company even though he does,not have cancer.

Hi Rehead1
That's great to read that you were able to get insurance through Staysure for European holidays. Will they not cover you for the US?
I don't think there are any insurance companies that are good specifically for the US, so my best advice is to ring round the ones that have been recommended in this thread as they may be able to quote you.

Hi yes they can insure for us but price goes up dramatically
Hi Rehead1
Have you tried insurancewith? As mentioned above they are very good, and they covered my husband with stage 4 prostate cancer on our recent trips to Cuba and Mexico. Two weeks in Cuba was £256 for platinum cover with added covid protection for both of us (I also have a blood disorder and previous DVT to add in!) The more recent trip to Mexico was quite a bit more than Cuba but I'm not sure if that was just because pretty much everything is going up!
