Hi everyone, 

The lovely @latchbrook set up the original 'recommended travel insurance thread' which you can still view here. Just so you don't have to go through the different pages of information to find recent recommendations, you can find the most recent experiences in this thread. 

Please note, all recommendations are from Community members and are not recommendations from Macmillan. Please do your own research as to whether the companies are suitable for you. 

This thread can be used to update the group when you've found an insurance company that provided you with cover at a reasonable cost from a recommendation you found here or elsewhere. 

If you could put a little bit of additional information eg. whether you got a single trip or annual, cover for a cruise, worldwide, etc along with anything else that you think others would find helpful when they are researching that would be great.

You may also find Macmillan's 'Cancer and buying travel insurance' page to be helpful

  • Try Insurewith - I have secondary breast cancer and on immunotherapy treatment they have covered me for a 5 day cruise to Amsterdam next year for £83 - others quoted over £500 . They do ask alot of questions but at least you know that they have every bit of info about you. Good luck x

  • I’m so grateful for your reply. Thank you. I’ll try them. Katie 

  • Hello KateH,

    You could also try Holidaysafe, they are part of the same group as Insurancewith.

    I used comparison site albert&eddie (strange name I know) which is also part of the same group as the above and received quotes from these plus a couple of others. In my circumstances Holidaysafe was cheaper than Insurancewith and both had the same policy wordings.
