Holiday Insurance

I am planning a 7 night trip to Spain and wondered what insurance company people use as I have COPD, am diabetic (type 2) and have asthma. I have a feeling the insurance may cost the same as the holiday.

depending on age and so long as it is in the EU then the EHIC Plus is a good choice

Hi there, I always go on line and compare, this year I got one with a company called Makesure Insurance very reasonable for worldwide insurance, so worth trying for European destinations.

I've used Moneysupermarket in the past. They have a good system for recording existing conditions and then referring you to appropriate insurers. No guarantee of cheap price, or even cover at all, but I've always got reasonable rates with 3 existing conditions.

Watched Martin Lewis programme and he mentioned All Clear and Staysure for existing conditions.

Hi, generally you are right the insurance will be very high, there are a few insurers that take on existing ailments, check Google for those. Be prepared for some big figures, they milk people like us. I cannot get anyform of insurance so now go without, I was quoted a figure 0f £1800 + for one trip only. A member on this forum did suggest one company but have deleted the info, try mrs mummsy at BLF she may be able to draw it down.
