travel insurance worldwide

[D0gL0ver]

Hi. My friend who is 74 years young is trying to get travel insurance for a holiday which includes a cruise of the Caribbean.

Does anyone have a personal recommendation of who to approach for reasonable quote?

Thanks for reading.

I suggest you and your friend read post linked below

The short version is we are all different, who we are, age sex, medical conditions, where we are going and for how long etc etc so it pays to do your own research since insurance providers assess risk on an individual basis. So just because someone on here has had a good deal with Avanti or Staysure or Allclear or any other provider doesn't necessarily mean everyone will. Therefore my suggestion is to first consult a website for travel insurance for pre existing conditions and take it from there or contact a local broker .

As for cruises they are tricky due to the increased risk of having to take people off the ship should they become ill and in that case it might worth contacting the cruise company to see if they offer insurance

as Lowerfield says, plus the website Moneyhelper.

Give Avanti a try

I got travel insurance a few weeks ago with Allianz through Lloyds bank.

They were brilliant and very understanding.

Give them a try. Good luck

Did you do it on line or by phone?

[Miocardial_1 in reply to D0gL0ver]

I phoned them and talked everything through. I will find the number on my documents and send it to you.

thank you. The on line forms seem so cut and dried and no opportunity to elaborate.
