Hi I am trying to get travel insurance for my friend - 78 yrs - to go to America. She has cervical cancer , had chemo and being followed up with scans which show static disease. Can anyone recommend any companies ??
Hi Dippydaisy and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
A holiday to America sounds lovely but, unfortunately, it can be more difficult to find travel insurance when you've had 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. The thread is quite long so it's best to make a list on paper of the companies recommended and then work your way through them.
It's often better 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 your friend can get some insurance and that she has a lovely time.
