Help I cant get travel insurance

[Chris147]

Hi everyone very excited about my trip to Amsterdam but struggling to get an annual travel insurance saga would not but they would give me a single trip. I was told John Lewis woukd they wouldnt give me anything at all. I have the europe medical card but guess I need my own too. I think its because I have had two a an e admittance in last 12 months. Can you recommend as going on wednesday thank you in anticipation chris

Why don't you take up the offer of single trip insurance?

Hello Chris - I use All Clear Annual protection for last 2 years = I made it cheaper by excluding cancellation cover and just have it for medical expenses= you can apply either online or talk to a very helpful human.= Good Luck

Your cheapest option is probably to buy the single trip now and as soon as it is 12 months since you went to A&E get the annual one. Welcome to the frustrating world of heart condition travel insurance. While I was in AF I could get insurance but as soon as I had the ablation which fixed my condition I then couldn't get insurance for 12 months at a sensible price. Madness or what ?

Oh goodness i havent had the nerve to travel as so much problen and fear and now trying to get this sorted out i will just take the cover single. You are right thank you

Flexicover offered us annual (husband has several conditions and both of us AF). They have paid out too for canncellations . All Clear (it's a broker) also paid out when OH developed AF on hols. Took a while though.

Enjoy your trip Wendy

I use Staysure Travel Insurance who seem fine for either single or annual cover although Winter Sports cover seemed to bunk up the price somewhat! I had a new aortic valve in Jan and several AF events with one unscheduled hospital visit since.

I wanted cover for sailing in the Baltic in July and they covered all that happily. good luck with your efforts to find suitable cover.

I just got a quote from World First. I declared everything AF pacemaker hypertension and it came out at 192 for annual policy. Google it. Good luck, From Barry
