Oops, did you travel without insurance? We can get you back on track
Between 2015 and 2017, there were around 10,000 new cases of leukaemia reported each year, that's 28 every day! We specialise in providing travel insurance for people living with leukaemia. We understand that there are many different types of leukaemia including acute lymphoblastic and chronic myeloid leukaemia, all of which vary in severity and treatment including chemotherapy and blood transfusions. We consider all types of cancer and our medical screening process will account for your individual circumstances by asking the type of leukaemia you were diagnosed with, the treatment you've had and whether any further treatment is planned.
Many insurance companies will instantly decline cover or exclude any claims that could be related back to your leukaemia – we try and do the opposite! Our aim is to fully insure you and your medical conditions to give you the peace of mind that you are fully covered should your condition cause an unforeseen cancellation or if you need medical treatment abroad that relates to your condition. We also understand that sometimes online medical questionnaires don’t provide the correct options or name of your specific condition so we have a dedicated customer service team who would be happy to help you through the process.
Our aim is to ensure your diagnosis does not prevent you from experiencing international travel, but we understand that a certain level of travel insurance is required to put you at ease whilst abroad. Having a previous diagnosis of leukaemia that has since resolved with no further treatment planned should not prevent you from travelling and we will endeavour to find a suitable policy for you.
You can apply for travel and holiday insurance through our online quote journey or over the phone with our friendly UK call centre.

We offer a variety of specialist travel insurance policies, from cover for pre-existing medical conditions to policies for those already travelling abroad. Click ‘Start Quote Journey’ to obtain a quote online. You will be presented with several policy options which direct you to a dedicated information page, explaining the cover details and benefits. Once you’ve found the policy suitable for your travel requirements, click the ‘Get Online Quote’ button to complete your details.
Applying for travel insurance once you have finished treatment could, in some circumstances, reduce the premium and make the cover easier to obtain. However, if you need the cover to start whilst you are still receiving treatment because you have a holiday booked and need cover for cancellation, you will need to declare the treatment and we will quote accordingly.
Single trip cover is available for trips up to 365 days in duration depending on the policy type selected.
We do not need the names of the medication or the dosage, only the condition that the medication is prescribed to treat or prevent.
