Hi Vix2000

There's no more info on the policy I'm afraid.

Hi,

Following stage 4 stomach cancer treatment (Chemo - Op - Chemo) I managed to get annual multi trip insurance from Avanti for myself and my wife for about £800 which educed to £550 when I renewed it. Sadly when I was recently diagnosed with secondary/terminal cancer they said they could not insure me despite that I am currently fully able and largely without symptoms.  This suggest they will insure unless you have a terminal prognosis.

Yep, my experience has been the same, with my stage 4/terminal breast and bone cancer. I can get single trip insurance, but no one will I've me an annual policy. The insurance I've used was expensive, but Need to have it cos you're so much more likely to get ill when travelling. Frustrating. 

Thank you very much 

Hi MandaPanda, 

Can you share which company covered you for single trip?

AllClear was the only company which would offer me travel insurance in early 2025. This was for a 7 day single trip to Europe. I was undergoing investigation for a non-cancerous health condition and didn’t have a diagnosis at that point. I also have a number of chronic health conditions. My cancer is in remission. AllClear were superb. It was a ling process to find out if they would offer cover, but the decision was fast and the customer advisor was so knowledgeable about health. Don’t apply online, phone them if your situation is complex regarding health, it can’t hurt.

I had an annual policy for myself and husband wwith All Clear;  when my medical details changed and I needed further treatment (deinitely not a terminal diagnosis) they refused to insure me any longer and removed me from the policy, initially without any refund (although they offered some refund after some shouting on my part).   

Oh dear! How disappointing.That’s so different from my experience. Having said that I was not being investigated for cancer, but a musculoskeletal problem.

Just want to say thank you for highlighting this company (Albert and Eddie). I have stage 4 cancer of the oesophagus spread to lymph nodes and complete my chemo at the end of April (2025). I have a holiday to Italy booked at the beginning of May and was beginning to wonder if I would be able to get insurance. However, after a call with the company I got a quote that I was happy with (closer to £220 than the £1000 I had been quoted elsewhere) and now I am insured. I'm new to this but it seems it is definitely worth shopping around and definitely worth talking to the company rather than relying on online questionnaires (I managed to iron out quite a few queries, which I think helped my quote). Hope all manage to get insurance and get the holiday you deserve.
