evening everyone, 

currently having BCG treatment for bladder cancer..

we are off to Mexico in July…travel insurance has been quoted at around £500 for two weeks…

is this about the right price? 

Cheers in advance Nigel xx

  • Hi  

    It's difficult for anyone to say if 

    £500 for two weeks…

    is this about the right price

    as unless they have the same diagnosis as you, along with other things such as age, other medical conditions, etc, all insurance quotes are individual.

    The best thing to do to get a feel for what sort of price you might have to pay is to try several different insurance companies. Have you had chance to look through the members recommended travel insurance thread yet, as you'll find lots of recommendations there from others who have got reasonably priced travel insurance?

    In recent years I've used payingtoomuch.com and goodtogoinsurance.com to cover my foreign holidays and found them to be reasonably priced.

    I hope you manage to get some reasonably priced insurance and, if it's with someone other than what is recommended in the thread I've pointed you towards, do come back and let us know so that others can benefit in future.

  • Hello Nigel,

    As  has said, it's difficult to say if your quote is reasonable or not.

    I don't know which insurer you've used but would suggest you get a quote from Albert & Eddie if it wasn't them. I've used them for a couple of years (I have an annual policy) and am currently paying just under £500 for 12 months worldwide cover for my wife and I.

    It could be worth you looking at the cost of an annual policy if you might be taking more holidays in the next 12 months, often it's not much more than a single trip policy.

    You'll see that others on the travel insurance forum have also used Albert & Eddie.

    I hope you can get sorted, and that you have a great time in Mexico. We'll be near the border in Tucson, Arizona in July!

    All the best, Derek.
