Hi
sorry if this has been covered before but I am going abroad just for a week and have cancer at present. All the quotes I have got include cancer as a pre existing condition and therefore the prices are ridiculous
is there any insurers out there that will exclude the cancer. I am away for 1 week and very unlikely to have problems from the cancer during that short period. I am prepared to take the risk of having to cancel due to treatment and losing the holiday cost
many thanks
Hi Stu m and a very warm welcome to the online community
Unfortunately, as you've found, it can be more difficult to find reasonably priced travel insurance when you have had a cancer diagnosis and I don't know if it's possible to exclude cancer from your cover.
Have you had chance to look through the 'recommended travel insurance' thread yet, as it's where you'll find previous recommendations from other forum members are? If not, clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there.
Most people say that 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.
Let us know how you get on
