Hi, I'm looking for travel insurance for myself and my partner for 4 days, but my dad has terminal cancer. He was due to die August 2026 but has now been given another 3 months approx. I can't find any insurers who will cover us if we need to cancel to be with dad, anyone know of any?

  • Hi  

    I'm sorry to read that your dad has terminal cancer and that you're finding it difficult to get travel insurance that will cover you if you need to cancel your holiday.

    I don't have any experience of this myself but you might like to take a look at this thread as one of the poster's found a travel insurance company that 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".

    You might also find this recent blog from Macmillan helpful.

    I hope you're able to get insurance so that you can book your planned holiday.
