Hi all. Not sure where to post this so doing it here. Can anyone please advise me as to which company is good for travel insurance to the USA? I’m only concerned about medical and accident coverage. We’re with the airlines so cancellations etc don’t affect us as we fly standby.
many thanks x
Yes but some companies will give you cover for everything else. I should imagine you have to be pretty confident you are fairly fit. I bet they could attribute many things you could try to claim for to the cancer and its treatment long term effects

Yes even if you don’t want it covering you have to declare for at least 5 years. I used staysure whilst I had to declare it. They were reasonable u never had to claim but ut was fully declared.
we go away for up to 10 weeks so wouldn’t travel without it alongside the gh1c card but that doesn’t cover USA from me memory.

Like Peter, I have a Nationwide FlexPlus account which includes, among other things, travel insurance. I used it last autumn to travel to the US and was told that as long as I hadn’t been receiving cancer treatment for a year I didn’t need to declare anything so there was no additional premium. I also get breakdown insurance included.
