Can someone recommend an insurance company for holidays abroad?

15 Replies

I’m new here. I have ventricular ectopics (a 10%burden) and I don’t get dizzy, have any pain or suffer from breathlessness apart from if I’ve eaten a large meal!) Do I even need to tell the insurance company with something so minor?

You should declare it especially if you have seen a doctor about it otherwise they may not pay out on any claim. Try Insurancewith- we have used them several times.

Definitely declare it as if you don't the insurance company may use it as an excuse not to pay out against other illnesses and conditions too. I also have a condition that causes me little problems but still declare it. Try Goodtogo insurance. I have found them to be the most flexible and sensibly priced. They are on the BHF list.

Hi I had an ICD fitted in September and we are flying next week to Florida. Our normal travel insurance wont cover us for heart related issues. My first quote was £1800 but after going to numerous companies we ended up with Avanti at £700 for annual cover

good luck
