Hi all, at long last I have booked a holiday that I am so looking forward too and one that is much needed after all the treatment and coming through in the clear. So while I have a run of several weeks without a hospital appointment in sight I'm taking it and I am off.
I would like your help and any advice on the best holiday insurance companies that you have used or can recommend.
Thanks x
Hi McQ14
Unfortunately, it can be more difficult to find travel insurance when you've had a cancer diagnosis so can I recommend that you join us over in the travel insurance group where you'll find recommendations from others who have been successful. Once you've joined look for the thread called 'recommended travel insurance' as this is where the majority of recommendations are.
Most people say that it's best to phone the insurance companies rather than try and do online quotes as often at the end of the online quote it will tell you to phone the company and you'll then have to go through all the information again. Also, sometimes the broker can refer to the underwriters to see if they would provide cover when an online quote might just give you a straight refusal.
I hope this helps
I used payingtoomuch.com which is a comparison site for pre existing medical conditions. Got an annual policy European cover for about 150 quid for both me and hubby who also has pre existing medical conditions. Couldn't get a quote on meerkat or travel supermarket as soon as I mentioned breast cancer.
Hi McQ14, we used Staysure. They were very good and very helpful.
