Travel Insurance Direct are excellent. They paid out £8k when my husband had a heart attack on holiday & continue to insure us each year for the same condition (at extra cost ofcourse, but not scarey extra cost)

The best for pre existing health probs (hip problems which I know will not cause a problem while away but none the less I have seen a consultant about and so have to declare and wisdom teeth which are to be taken out at a later date, the only thing I ever need for them is antibiotics which I am taking with me anyway) for a 28 yr old would be great to know before I start the task of phoning around!!

I had a pre-existing condition, so basically my bank, who gives me free travel insurance with my account said I was covered for everything except my condition, which was fine by me.

I realise I am a bit late for this thread but wanted to pass on the results of my recent trawl for travel insurance. I am 65 with pre-exisint condition.
2 weeks travel to USA cost £43.82 from Norwich Union Direct. This included included the rare cover for the clause "anyone on who your journey depends" which all the companies use as a get out if your sick relative causes the cancellation of your holiday.
My husband, who remained at home, has several conditions, including diabetes and heart trouble and I was assured by the agent on the telephone that should my husband's health cause cancellation I would be covered. This was the best all-round deal I found after checking Moneysupermarket, the Banks, B.Societies etc. I was delighted and will save myself a long job by going directly there in future.

Try age concern and help the aged. Used one of these cannot remember which, for in laws and they allowed age related conditions to be included at no extra charge.
