Travel Insurance

[Islay]

Can anyone recommend a reasonable priced policy for pre existing medical conditions please.

The quotes coming in are as expensive as my flights to the USA!

What conditions are we talking about? there is a huge variation between different conditions, you need an individual quote.

I'm sure Chris will be able to help, there are a few companies that might be able to help.

Hi, we used the All Clear site and got a good price from Ok To Travel. We have a number of pre-existing.

Make sure you have adequate travel cover, remember the story of the pensioner stranded in Mexico because he did not disclose his full medical history and the insurance company voided his claim!

Eddie, that is what I am concerned about, its gallstones and a hernia and a few other minor conditions.

they probably won't refuse to cover them, just put the premium up a bit. We've got an annual policy with Planet Earth, who seem reasonable, except they won't cover my OH for America/Caribbean, so we had to buy a one-trip policy for that when we went to LA a couple off months back (I think it was from Holiday Extras).
