Hi, I’m supporting a very close friend of mine who has Advanced stage 4 cancer, but isn’t at end of life stage. He is writing a bucket list and really wants to go to Florida. I’m absolutely determined to make this happen. I would be interested to know others experiences with regards to travel insurance and if anyone can recommend particular companies too please.
Hi Cat Crazy and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
That's great that you want to help your friend find travel insurance so that they can tick going to Florida off their bucket list. Unfortunately, it can be more difficult to find reasonably priced travel insurance when there's been a cancer diagnosis.
Have you had chance to look at the recommendations in the 'recommended travel insurance' thread yet? 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 recommend 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.
Do come back and let us know how you get on
