hi which Travel insurance (if all clear 6 month ) is best all really really expensive. Also still have high blood pressure but coming in at £900 Daughters family all inc £75 Is anyone who does it and excludes the existing medical condition so can still go as this would break the bank. Been saving 3 years now and illness already hit us financially so struggling without . Who have people found best and is this gonna be like all quotes. Thanks.
Hi Hjps and a very warm welcome to the online community
Unfortunately, as you have found, getting reasonably priced travel insurance when you've had a cancer diagnosis can be more difficult.
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. You might also want to look at this thread as it includes a link to a Travel Insurance Directory.
Most people here have found 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 don't know if there are any insurance companies who will insure you for everything except pre-existing medical conditions but you could ask the ones you phone if that's a possibility.
Do come back and let us know how you get on
