90 day diabetic travel insurance

speedy22

Am off to Sacramento on 17 Dec 2009 returning to Edinburgh on 16 March 2010. Does anybody know of an insurance company who gives a decent quote on pre existing diabetes 1 conditon. I have just had a quote for £665 from Travel Surgery. More than my flights!

Try Allclear Travel Insurance and Medici Travel, both who specialise in covering pre-existing medical conditions.

Try looking at Annual Multi Trip Policies with a maximum single trip of 90 days or more. I just had a look at Citybond who a lot of brokers use. Their price with a maximum trip of 100 days is £142.76 without any loading for your Diabetes. If your interested in Citybond they also have other trading names for direct purchases.

As well as being cheaper it will cover any future trips in the twelve month trip.

Try googling "Annual Travel 90 days" or similar

I deal with travel insurance claims and they are a great insurer.

Other Advice - avoid AXA!
