Hi.. I’m travelling with my family to New York for five days in December but I am having difficulty getting travel insurance. I have been declined or quoted exorbitant rates because I suffered with throat cancer this last year but have been confirmed as clear by my consultant following intensive treatment. Can anyone recommend a company who would provide reliable insurance? I don’t honestly believe my health will be an issue on holiday but I need to know we are properly covered .
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
A family trip to New York sounds great but, unfortunately, it can be more difficult to find reasonably priced travel insurance when you have had a cancer diagnosis.
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.
Experience has proved that it's 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.
I do hope that you can get insurance and that you have a great time!
