I am trying to get travel insurance but am finding companies will not cover me, or the cost is very high or they do not recognise my condition. I am confused as I have travelled previously and not had this issue so unsure what has changed.
I had a stem cell transplant and as a result have chronic GVHd which has been treated using ECP, I have not had this for a year now but still take steroids and visit the hospital regularly for monitoring. Therefore I must put it as a condition on my travel insurance quote.
Can anyone recommend a company that might help? I have used Staysure previously but their quote is suddenly through the roof and when I asked why they stated 'market conditions' . I saw someone else on this chat recommended Insurewith but when I tried it did not recognise Graft versus host and the chat did not work.
Would appreciate any suggestions, thanks!
Hello SuziCo,
I'm sorry to hear you're having problems obtaining travel insurance.
I found Albert & Eddie useful - they're a comparison site owned by the same company as Holidaysafe, Insurancewith andsome others. I obtained annual worldwide cover with Holidaysafe through them at a reasonable price.
I hope they can be useful for you too.
