Travel Insurance

Hi. I had a heart attack 18 months ago but now feel that a holiday might be OK. Can anyone tell me how this would affect my policy. TIA

Hello Richard

We work with Staysure, who offer our members 20% discount, and can insure against pre-existing medical conditions so here is a link for you to get a quote - https://www.silversurfers.com/travel-insurance/ hope this helps, Sally 🙂

Be careful with Staysure. They took all my details and pre existing medical and said I would be covered for world wide travel. They quoted me a very attractive price after accepting the medical conditions and i duly paid for the policy. When I received the paperwork I was horrified that all my conditions were excluded from cover ! They said I could cancel but would have to pay an additional fee. Despite complaining and asking them to check their agents recorded acceptance they refused to budge.
My advice … take out a plus pack insurance through Barclays. After recent “ upgrade “ price variations it only works out at less than £ 600 per year for multiple worldwide travel and health cover and includes cover for cruises plus six free admissions to airport lounges plus R.A.C. Cover.
