Can anyone recommend a travel insurance company that will deal with cancer patients at a reasonable cost.  I am hoping to have a holiday before I start my next course of Chemo, but am finding it difficult to get affordable insurance.

Thanks

  • Hi again  the great Travel Insurance challenges.

    I never achieved getting a quote during my treatment that did not have £000 in it. It was not until I was 2-3 years out from treatment that I got regular prices for full cover.

    You can use a Comparison Site then pick up the phone to a few companies and go through the process. You never know what will happen when you talk with someone.

    You can actually get normal travel insurance and can remover your condition but that leaves you wide open ‘if’ something goes wrong.

    Do check this Link to our Travel Insurance Group and see what is being said there.

    I do hope you can get away.

  • Hi, do check with your consultant its ok to go and ensure your file is marked fit to travel, otherwise any cover will be void, and I would repeat Mikes advice that's how I did it for many years until I found euro tunnel but they have stopped as you did not go through the full screening so was much simpler. Good luck and hope you get the cover you need.
