  • Every circumstance is different, but my OH, with pre-existings, had the best quote from Explorer Travel.
  • I used Staysure for my 80 year old Father who went to Spain for three weeks this summer. He's had prostate and bowel cancer and he paid around £150 which was much cheaper than other quotes he'd had by hundreds of pounds. We went through Topcashback and he got £35 back.

    We also used Staysure for his 79 year old partner who has no medical issues. She paid around £50 and got £10ish cash back.
  • went with Staysure ... looked the best value .

    Explorer were 50% more expensive on my detail

    I have a number of pre-existing conditions, including heart, kidney and pancreatic issues, and got a policy from Avanti. Quite reasonable and they covered everything which others did not.
