Travel Insurance Article Discussion

Im have Noonan Syndrome and finding some wont quote me at all, while others offer £245 for worldwide 1 year cover.

Anyone got any suggestions on companies they have used.

thanks

Does anyone know how long after you have an illness you can stop declaring. I had Breast Cancer in 1998 and no longer have check ups, any offers of advice?

Thanks

No easy answer to that one, I'm afraid. Pretty well every insurer asks a different set of health questions, and you need to examine the wording of these questions very carefully before deciding whether you need to make a declaration.

tonthered My conditions match yours but I have no angina after angioplasty and stent years ago. I have had annual travel insurance from All Clear - directly with them 2 years ago and this year through Diabetes UK web site link (it is still with All Clear) and got an even better price.

Many thanks for that, I have used all clear before but the quote from their website direct seemed dearer than others. I have a very good quote from 'Its easy@ which is from the moneysupermarket site link for Pre existing medical conditions. I also got a really good quote from ClubDirect after finding that within the forums. However, I will try Diabetes UK, never thought of looking on there.

I probably didn't make myself clear enough, in that I suffered Angina for the first time 3 years ago and ended up in hospital with a resulting stent. Had no problems from this since apart from two bouts of cardioversion solved them. I suspect I cannot keep potassium in my body which results in it dropping low and causing AF. Since then I eat plenty of bananas to counteract this issue.

My diabetes was only diagnosed recently, but that seems to be under control now. :T

I'm going away in september for a long weekend and the flights were just over £50. Does anyone know if I get travel insurance that covers me for 'scheduled airline failure' and the airline does go bust before then, do I have to pay an excess to make claim? ie. with columbus direct the standard excess is £60 per person per claim. Does this apply with SAF? Thanx

You mention that the Direct Travel annual europe multitrip is £33, but I just got the exclusive moneysupermarket policy from them, with great cover including baggage, cancellation and cash for £22

Also, it looks like you can get 14% cashback through quidco for Direct Travel, MSE's best value policy.

I've discovered that for travel insurance, it's better to forget cashback and go to one of the moneysupermarket exclusive deals, they end up being much cheaper than going via cashback to the company's site.
