Travel Insurance For Medical Conditions

hi there,Im trying to find out if anyone knows of a travel insurance that will actually cover pre exsisting conditions. Everytime i try to get insurance i doesnt cover this and unfortunalty I am the only on out of four of us that doesnt have a condition.
My husband is diabetic and asthmatic
DD1 is asthmatic
DD2 has neurocardiogenic syncope and reflex anoxic siezures


Any advice would be lovely and i dont want to go away in august without it but if there were to be any problems it would be DD2 or husband and there conditions.


thanks :)

    Try Primary Insurance, they covered ashtma and diabeties and a lot of other things for me.

    Also contact Free Spirit, they are usually excellent for pre existing problems, the more you tell them, the more they can tailor the cover
  • thanks had a quick try but site goes down couple of pages into a quote will try again later.
  • free spirit just quoted me £578 for 14 days cover!!!!!

    Post Office used to be good for pre existing conditions (additional cover but not silly money). I think they've upped their prices though.
    I then switched to Liverpool Victoria. Again, it's an additional insurance but they are a good insurer and worth the premium charged.
    Good luck.

    Hi

    We have just taken out travel insurance for a pre-existing medical condition with a company called 'insurancewith.com'

    It has worked out cheaper than the insurance sold by the tour operator.
  • My friend in the business reccomended Columbus to us a few years back.
