All of the travel insurance recommendations are about 3 years old. Does anyone have any up to date recommendations for travel insurance companies please?
Hi Lost voice
I think that the reason that most of the recommendations are around three years old is because that was when that thread was started and once a company was recommended there was no need for it to be recommended again. It doesn't mean that these companies are no longer recommended and the fact that there are no recent recommendations is probably because no new travel insurers have emerged. I would still recommend that you work your way through those previous recommendations.
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.
I do hope that you can get some reasonably priced insurance and that you have a great time!
