Can anyone advise me on the best holiday insurance,

I’ve had breast cancer and lung cancer. And now blood cancer.

Do not use Staysure, Avanti or any company underwritten by Ergo Travel Ltd.

I had the misfortune to be hospitalised in Asia. I had to pay the £7000 bill myself,

12 weeks later and still waiting to be reimbursed!

They did not offer any guarantee of payment to the medical provider, no help or assistance to me.

I am fine now thank you. Look at Trustpilot reviews of any potential insurance companies before you decide.

I chose Staysure because they were recommended by Which magazine! It has been impossible to contact them by phone and you just receive standard automated emails.

Sadly it’s only when you have to claim that you find out how good a company is.

hi I have travel insurance through my bank but my stroke cholesterol and MPN are excluded so I don’t need a secondary brilliant cover.

Try Puffin insurance and Medical 4 you

Hi, I had massive quotes due to JAK2POSITIVE ET and cancelled Canada holiday however finally found the Post Office was a lot less at £500 and do I rebooked trip. It is still a lot but then the cost of the trip is very high as well. Good luck.
