Hi all can anybody recommend an Insurance company that isn’t to expensive, going to Portugal in September only for 4 days . Thanks.
Hi Boobylou, just wondering if you’ve looked through the posts in the travel insurance group.
https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer_experiences/travel_insurance/discussions
where others are putting their recommendations.
When I thought I might avoid chemo I checked the cost with my usual company (Post Office), and is not much more than normal. I don't know your details, but it might be woth a look.
I was diagnosed in 2014. After surgery but before chemo we went to Paris for 4 days. A specialist insurance company charged £40 which wasn't too bad. Exactly a year later after chemo and RT the same company for same 4 day trip to Paris wanted £400 abd this was just for me. Needless to say I looked elsewhere. We are going to new Zealand and Australia in January/February and the insurance has cost £320 for both of us
If you’re going to Europe only, try Eurotunnel, they like to quote over the phone as if you do it on line they think it’s for the tunnel. Only provisos are you are travelling with approval of your doctor and are not terminal.
Further away I would recommend www.insurancewith.com as they are not only competitive, but settle claims easily and swiftly too. Daughter has an annual policy with them now, (she travels widely for work as well as pleasure) found them really good. Again they like you to phone.

eurotunnel now do islands in europe again as from july the cost is about 89.00 joint yearly only proviso is a eurotunnel booking but at about 110.00 for that still a lot cheaper than anywhere else
if i remember questions include only are you travelling with doctors permission plus you have not got terminal diagnosis
i had a policy with them from january2018 but for the price just renewed early
