insurance

[Bliss2]

I’m looking for holiday insurance I’ve looked on the insurance on here but they are all out of date with 9 years to six all showing they are to old I would like in the last 2 years so if anyone can help I would be grateful thank you

I went through Compare the Market...I have multiple health issues. My insurance was £88 for a week in Spain

[CarolMcl in reply to madonbrew]

Hi do you mind telling me which company you went with? 🌹

[peege]

That's odd, there are very recent posts and replies on health insurance. I recall Saga, Staysure being two but other companies too.

There is a comparison site - medicaltravelcompared.co.uk- which I have used in the past, but they're not so good now because of mine and hubbies ages. The one I use now is All Clear, but I buy it through AgeUK

[madonbrew]

I think it was Travel Insurance Saver

oh can you help as I applied for travel insurance for my partner with Allclear and he has COPD . If you don’t mind me asking do you use oxygen! Maybe that was why they wouldn’t !!!!???

Any help form anybody would be great fully received

[Bliss2 in reply to Paris1029]

I don’t use oxygen

[Ern007 in reply to Paris1029]

No - I don't use Oxygen. I am not allowed with a drug a I take called Amioderone. I have 3 heart complaints, CKD and got insurance for my wife also who has Angina, even when I was going to IOM. I have cancer and still got insurance cover, my Dr Blocked me from going though, I found All Clear fair and used then in Europe and once in Asia. Good luck I hope you get what you need.

I've used staysure and goto insurance and I have many medical problems

[Bliss2 in reply to starskyd]

But how much did you pay was it for a year or a one off

[gingermusic]

Try All Clear for holiday insurance or Staysure.

Hi! I used Martin Lewis's site, Money Saving Expert; there is a section on pre-existing medical conditions where you can get a few quotations. I bought an annual policy at a very decent price from payingtoomuch.com. Good luck!

I've used Admiral for many years and found them to be the cheapest, I've had a heart attack, have severe COPD as well as other ailments. I usually take out multi trip insurance for a year as I go abroad frequently, for this I paid £160 at the beginning of this year.

[Bliss2 in reply to Romes54]

Wow that’s a good price from Admiral for a year though I’m 80 but I’m very active person. I’m just wondering if that would make a difference

[HungryHufflepuff in reply to Bliss2]

Age does make a difference, and some insurance companies won’t insure people over 70 or 75. Also it depends what country you’re traveling to and how many different medications you take. I travel with my mum and it costs several hundred pounds per trip. I use AllClear or Staysure, whichever is cheaper at the time, but someone here suggested using AllClear through Age Concern and I’ll try getting a quote through them next time.

We have used Staysure for quite a few years but Liverpool Victoria were a bit cheaper this year. I have RA Asthma Bronchiectasis Epilepsy Hypothyroidism & more. This year cost £184

[Maddie25 in reply to Otto11]

Was that for one trip or whole year

[Otto11 in reply to Maddie25]

That’s a yearly policy.

Hi Bliss2, I have travel insurance with Staysure and the premiums are high but this of course depends on health conditions. The one thing I will say is I needed to claim for a holiday cancellation in May because I was suddenly not fit to fly and they were very good. The only hold up was the doctor's claim form which took 4 weeks to be completed but once I received the form and sent it to Staysure the money hit my bank within 3 days. Hope this helps, Maximonkey

[Bliss2 in reply to Maximonkey]

I’ve been with Staysure and yes they are expensive but I’ve booked a year with Admiral now and price wasn’t to bad

[Maximonkey in reply to Bliss2]

Hi Bliss, glad to hear it. After all it really depends how many complaints we have and I insure my husband at the same time which of course also puts up the premiums. Have a lovely holiday and keep well. Maximonkey

[younginmind]

I use Insure With as I have COPD + Grade 4 cancer and am still having treatment, many companies will not quote, also if you are over 80. Be prepared to pay!
