Travel Insurance

Options
I'm just buying travel insurance for myself and my girlfriend for our holiday next month.

However a section of the form asks

'Has ANYONE travelling under this policy suffered from, been prescribed any medication, received any treatment, or attended any consultations, investigations, follow-ups or check-ups, for ANY medical or psychological conditions in the last 2 years?'

My girlfriend broke her nose and had it operated on last year. Do I need to declare this?

Thanks for any help in advance

    Best declaring it, then you have covered your own back (and hers)

    It really wont be a problem.

    I have osteoporosis, declared it, they asked me about broken bones and I had a broken rib about 4 months ago, everything was fine, no extra charge.

    And welcome to the boards, by the way.

    and we will never, ever return.
  • Thanks for the speedy reply McKneff. What made me unsure was that when searching for 'broken nose' there were no results, however I've now found a general 'broken bone' category. As you say better off covering ourselves for the sake of a tenner.

    Thanks again.:beer:

    Who are you insuring with, there are lots and lots of comps who wouldnt dream of charging extra for this. Robbing sods, I really cant see a future risk because of an accident in the past.

    Try AA or Top Dog Insurance.. AA insured me and my OH for £16. for 3 days foreing travel. He has major sight problems and COPD, I have medical problems also so the price was great

    None of my business I know but you can only get isnurance for a couple if you live together.
