Getting Travel Insurance with a pre existing medical condition

Hi All,

Just want to give people with a pre existing medical condition a couple of pointers if they are having trouble getting cover for a pre existing condition.
Try Endsleigh co,uk they were prepared to cover me with my condition (COPD) with no extra premium, but the reason why i did not go through them was because their underwriters are AXA!! had trouble with them in the past!!
The other one that i eventuallly went with was Columbus Direct, they are covering me with my condition at no extra cost.
Hope this may help people in a similar situation to me.

    I've used Columbus direct a few times in the past and they usually cover pre-exsisting conditions.
    This time I had to make a bit more of a contribution for Diabetes, but nowhere near what the other companies were asking.
    Always worth checking them out.
