basic details:

Myself - age 55 , with T2 Diabetes ( controlled by diet & tablets )

Partner- age 51

Daughter - age 13

Travelling to Thailand for 2 weeks holiday.

Did have a look on comparison site a while back, but was waiting for results of retinal test, as that was one of questions asked.

Anyone got any good/bad feedback for any companies, particularly if had to make a claim. I'm thinking that the cheapest policies are not always the best.

Cheers

I get my medical insurance through staysure.

LV online quote system is excellent, as is their call centre if changes are required.

I have pre-existing conditions and have insurance through Free Spirit. I have no complaints, although I've never had to claim, so I can't give any information about that. The price is pretty good, considering I have 2 neurological conditions, and I found the customer service very good.

After extensive research of reviews from people who had actually made claims (or tried to in some cases!) I went with LV. A lot of the cheapie companies won't be there to help when you need them based on people's experiences.

Forget the comparsion sites for travel insurance with medical conditions. I just bought a policy from insurancewith.co.uk very competitive.

I have found that "Freedom" offers the best price for travel insurance for people I know with pre-existing conditions.

If there are not pre existing conditions I would just use the ones recommended in the MSE guide.
