Hi,
My fiance and I are going to a three-day festival in Budapest in a month.
My brother has brain cancer and hasn't been given a time frame, but has declined significantly in the last few weeks.
My brother isn't travelling with us, but I want travel insurance in case he dies immediately before we go and there's a funeral etc.
From what I can see, most insurers won't provide insurance if it's a pre-existing condition. Can anyone recommend one that can?
Thanks
Hi turtlegirl and a very warm welcome to the group which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read about your brother's diagnosis and that he has declined significantly in the last few weeks, so I can understand you wanting to find travel insurance that will cover you if you need to cancel your holiday.
There have been quite a few people who have posted in this group in the past, also trying to find the type of cover that you are looking for but, unfortunately, none have ever reported back whether they have been successful or not.
However, Salsera posted on this topic 7 months ago and said that her insurer would cover her "IF my Dad's medical professional is happy to confirm in writing, before I book, that they don't anticipate my Dad declining significantly before the time of my holiday." If you want to read her complete post just click here. Maybe you could check when you get quotes if the insurer would be happy to do the same.
Have you had chance to look through the 'recommended travel insurance' and 'recommended travel insurance 2023-24' threads yet as you'll find lots of suggestions for travel insurance there? Although none of the recommendations are specifically for your scenario, they are a good place to start.
If you are able to find an insurance company that will cover you, please, please, please report back so I can let others know in future.
