Travel Insurance

[Andrew1001]

I’m looking for recommendations please on insurers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

this question comes up regularly here. Within Health Unlocked we cannot recommend specifics but you can see the BHF take on their website. Insurers treat applicants as individuals and each case differs, so what’s right for me won’t be right for you necessarily.

We are all different with different requirements, especially if you have pre existing health conditions, so I suggest you read this, which will help you find the best fit for you.

If you search on here for insurance, lots of answers will come up. It also depends on where you are going. Please also look at GHIC, (Global Health Insurance Card) you may not need insurance. But the GHIC doesn't cover repatriation or expenses incurred for additional time spent abroad.

Hi Andrew, this question appears regularly on this site, so I am sure that you will find the help you need. I had a problem after being diagnosed as having Angina.After a protracted episode with Staysure, they refused to insure me. I then tried other insurers who advertise that they look after people with medical problems, however the premiums were astronomical.One company wanted over £4,000, so I asked our bank Nationwide if they could insure me. After the usual medical questions, they agreed, it cost me £ 240 upfront and then £13/month. As I said at the start you will get many answers thgat are sure to help you.

Thanks for that. I have a reasonable quote from Nationwide who already insured me. I ideally would like to see some info about companies who are more tailored for those with hert conditions. I have also heard good this about Insurancewith. 👍

[Andrew1001 in reply to Bluelobby]

Asia insured my cruise to Norway about 2 months after heart failure about £288 for the two of us for 7 days

[Andrew1001]

who are Asia please?

[benjijen]

I've just gone with All Clear. Cruise insurance with no excess. Spain and Portugal. Unstable angina, stents, thyroid problems and arthritis. £220. Also I'm 70.

[Andrew1001 in reply to benjijen]

Is that an annual premium?

[benjijen in reply to Andrew1001]

No. Its a one off to cover 14 day cruise although they tried to talk me into annual bur can't recall the cost but I know it was reasonable.
