European Travel Insurance?

I'd say yes, you need to declare everything. I declare everything from DH's athlete's foot to his osteoporosis, with a few in between which it takes them a while to find!

They have supplementary questions about his asthma, but usually nod his eczema through. He's been more ill with that than anything else, I think! Fortunately never on holiday ...

We have a raft of health issues between us (heart bypass, diabetes, 18 months clear after colon cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma - lovely mix ) and found Staysure gave us the best value cover.

Declare absolutely everything even if it is very mild and seems completely irrelevant. That way should you have a claim they cannot say you didn't give them full information and then refuse the claim.

Thanks. Staysure wanted about £300 for a year's cover.

I went with Top Dog on my last holiday to Greece (only a week in May this year). They covered my visual impairment, nerve damage and a comprehensive blood issue without drama. It was £13 for a week's cover, which I found really cheap considering some were quoting over £100. They were great when I needed to pop to hospital to have a swollen foot looked at (I'd broken two bones).

I've used Staysure before, but never claimed so can't help there; they were competitive on price.

If you don't have a diagnosis, I'd advise calling the companies for advice to make sure you're covered for complications or further worsening without diagnosis - its worth paying the extra in case something happens and you need Med-Evac which can literally be thousands.

Thanks. I do have a diagnosis; but none of the medication I'm allowed works and were running out of options.

You'll have to go on several holidays to get the best value out of it:D


We had a year's cover for £365 for both of us - which at the time was excellent compared to the other companies.
