Hi, can anyone recommend whether single trip insurance is better than annual.
Our annual policy was quoted an additional £284 making it nearly £500
I cancelled it but would be grateful if anyone has any information regarding companies who are more sympathetic towards sufferers of cancer?
Thank you
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I don't know if single trip insurance is better than annual and I suppose it depends on how many holidays you're able to take as to which turns out to be the better value.
Unfortunately, it can be more difficult to find reasonably priced travel insurance when you have had a cancer diagnosis but hopefully you'll be able to find some after looking at recommendations from other members of this group.
I don't know if you've had chance to look through the 'recommended travel insurance' thread yet, as it's where the majority of recommendations from other forum members are. If not, clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there.
It is best to phone the insurance companies rather than try and do online quotes as often at the end of the online quote it will tell you to phone the company and you'll then have to go through all the information again. Also sometimes the broker can refer to the underwriters to see if they would provide cover when an online quote might just give you a straight refusal.
Make sure that you have all the information to hand about your diagnosis and treatment before contacting the insurers. This is a list of things an insurance provider might want to know when you're applying for insurance. Some providers might ask for a letter from your doctor saying that you are well enough to travel. This could come from your cancer team or GP.
Let us know how you get on
