Pre Existing Illnesses
If you have a pre-existing medical condition it can be difficult
to obtain medical travel insurance.
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 will be met.
If you don't declare them, it is possible that if you need treatment when you are on holiday, your claim could be declined - even if you argue that your treatment was nothing to do with a pre-existing condition. Don't take the risk! It could cost you many hundreds, if not thousands of pounds.
Our policy can cover a wide range of medical conditions including
high blood pressure, diabetes, heart conditions, cancer, haemophilia, epilepsy and many more (subject to a telephone medical assessment).

If you are over 60, 65, 70, 75, 80
It can be difficult to obtain travel insurance if you are a senior or elderly person - whether you are over 65, 70, 75, let alone 80!
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 than older people years ago. Many of us have the opportunity to travel more.
But as we get older, there is more chance we will need to make a claim and the higher the amount can be.
Having said that, we can provide travel insurance up to the age of 85 for single trip cover. If you're looking for an annual, multi-trip policy, we can cover up to the age of 75 if you are travelling within Europe or up to 65 if you are travelling outside Europe (ie Worldwide).

If our own policy can't cover you, we can suggest others that might.

| 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.

"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.

Just wanted to say thanks for the friendly and thoughtful way you dealt with my application and for the very speedy and efficient service.
