Pre Existing Illnesses
 We can provide travel insurance for a wide range of medical conditions, including asthma, haemophilia, HIV, arthritis, reflux, breast cancer, COPD, blood pressure (hypertension), hydrocephalus, raised cholesterol, colitis, heart conditions, angina, diverticulitis, diabetes, Crohn's disease, strokes, anaphylaxia, hepatitis, bowel cancer, epilepsy, prostate cancer, multiple sclerosis (MS) , cystic fibrosis, leukaemia, pancreatitis, coeliac disease, thyroid, osteoporosis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Parkinson's disease and many more!
Sometimes people don't think they don't need to declare something they feel is not serious or that is being contolled my medication. However, having, for example, asthma, high blood pressure or cholesterol should be declared to ensure any claims related to them - directly or indirectly - will be met.
Why is it important to declare a pre-existing medical condition? If you have one of the conditions mentioned above, click the link to read more information. Otherwise, click here to find out.
If you don't declare a medical condition or travel without travel insurance, you really are opening yourself up to a potentially enormous financial risk, running into many thousands of pounds. It's just not worth it.
Better to spend a few pounds now and be properly insured.

Great news -
New policy for people with no medical conditions
We're please to announce the launch of our new travel insurance for people with no medical conditions to be covered. Aptly named Straightforward Travel Insurance, the policy does what it says in the logo!
Age limits increased if you do have medical conditions!
AND - Winter Sports now available!
Are you over 70? It can be difficult to obtain travel insurance if you are an older person. Our single trip policy now doesn't have an upper age limit. For annual policies, the maximum age is now 74 whether you're travelling within Europe or Worldwide.
 Most travel insurance policies have an upper age limit and in some cases, it can seem bewilderingly low! These days, we are generally fitter and healthier and many of us have the opportunity to travel more.
We can now also include winter sports in our cover.
Travel insurance if you are older
We'd like to be of use to as many people as possible. If you know someone or an organisation/charity that you think should know about our policy, please do tell them about us. |
Important information if you are travelling with others
If you are travelling with others, we strongly recommend that they be covered by this policy also. If the have an 'ordinary' policy and they need to cancel, cut short or extend their trip because you are ill, it is possible their insurers could decline their claim if they feel your illness was linked to a pre-existing medical condition that had not been declared to and accepted by them.
Similarly, if there is someone at home who is ill and whose health could increase the possibility of you making a claim to cancel or cut short your trip, this should be declared to our medical sreening line (it's called a third party assessment).

| Thank you for your assistance this morning which I greatly appreciate. After spending two hours contacting six insurance companies, all of whom refused to cover my daughter because of her pre-existing Hydrocephalus, I decided to contact ASBAH (Association for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus) for help. They gave me the names of four
insurance companies to contact but suggested I try you first which I did. In fact you were the only one I telephoned as Kevin Waite to whom I spoke was most helpful, agreeing a highly competetive rate for family world wide annual cover and putting me in touch with Mediquote who agreed to cover my daughter at a much lower rate than I was expecting. The whole process took approximately 20 minutes and I am now in receipt of the documents which were emailed through.
I have emailed ASBAH to give feedback and informed them of your excellent service.
Thanks once again.

"You may be interested to know that the only other quote I managed to get at such short notice was for over £241. So, thanks for your prompt (and very reasonable) quote and your professional service. Its a pleasure to come across a company which deals with customers in an efficient, helpful, and pleasant way."

Having struggled to obtain reasonably priced travel insurance for a trip to Cuba I came across your website through a recommendation on the Breast Cancer Care website. You provided full cover at a reasonable cost and your whole service from start to finish was absolutely excellent. Cannot recommend you highly enough. Thank for all your help.
FB, Perthshire
This is the third time that I have used this company. I must say - it is as it says - SOOOOO Easy!!
Many thanks!!

"I have found a champion...I have cancer and thought I was going to have to cancel a trip to Australia due to insurance quotes ranging from £800-£3,000 but It's So Easy insured me for just over £100! The company has made two trips possible, which I would not have been able to make with ordinary insurance companies."
Letter to The Guardian, Money Section, 15/7/06 |
My sister told me about your company after being diagnosed with cancer last year. She told me getting cover would be difficult. However, she said by phoning yourselves they would advise me and guide me through the process. The nurses [on our medical screening service] are all very helpful and I would not use any other company. My whole family use this company.
EJ, Brentwood
Your helpfull attitude towards those with medical problems is very refreshing. I have had superb service, have actually spoken to a nurse rather than a computer operator and have nothing but praise for all concerned. Thank you very much.
DL, London
Just wanted to say thanks for the friendly and thoughtful way you dealt with my application and for the very speedy and efficient service.
BM, Darlington
It is so rare that a company is so aptly named! thanks for making it so
very easy and making one thing so stress free! That is really appreciated.
