I have Churgs Strauss with cardiac and renal involvement and got good cover for a christmas holiday from Unique Travel Insurance owned by A spanish Insurance company but with brokers in Bournemouth who are easy to talk toowho cover most existing conditions. It comes at a price but that is a cross we all to bear. You should find them through google but they are also listed on the Heart Foundation Insures list

Hi, I have a renal transplant, diabetes and associated heart problems. I have used All Clear travel insurance to cover these conditions.

I hope you have great holiday.

I found Medici Travel very reasonable last year - did not have to claim for anything, so don't know more than this. For details: customer.services@medicitravel.com, 0844 884 1051.

Thanks for the information. Will give them all a ring and get some quotes.

I used "just go" that martyn lewis money expert reccommended, cheaper than others by far, but didn't need to claim.

I noticed the lupus uk home page has an advert for insurance specifically for them. The company is called Freedom. Would it be possible for VUK to ever negotiate an association with an insurance company as this question seems to pop up frequently?

Hi Bob

Freedom Insurance is mentioned on our website: vasculitis.org.uk/living-wi... along with some others recommended by patients.
