Travel Insurance

[laalaa]

Hi Liesa,

I konw its an obvious one, but have you thought of the post office?

We had to get insurance for my boyfirend and quite literally none of the major insurers would cover him, but the post office had no hesitation! His illness that he gets frequently, can cause him to be in hospital quite regularly, and quite sick, but the premium was only £110 for the two of us in Florida.

Its worth a try, all the details are on their website, amd they have a page with the medical criteria u have to meet.

We often take my mother in law with us, she is 76 and we never have a problem getting cover from Saga travel insurance. They don't do an annual policy but they are reasonable on single trip insurance. After all they only insure the over 50's

Take a look at their website. I think the last premium in 2003 was about £105.00

Hi Liesa

Have to tried Atlas Insurance. Excellent quote we got and also I have medical conditions applied to mine and no extra charge. My mum and dad both over 70 and having blood pressure and on alot of medication as well as warfarin. No high amount and no extra charges. We paid an extra £20.00 to waver any premiums if we had to make a claim.

Regards and take care Rebekah

My cousin had a very bad expeience with Tesco's, personally I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

Re High Blood pressure. I used American Express several years back. All they asked for was my last four readings and what medication I was using. As they assessed the readings as consistent and within limits they did not put any additional premium on the policy. I am currently with Alliance and Leicester (via my bank account) and they have not added a premium either.

Both Pamela & I have high blood pressure & we found Marks & Spencers had a policy that was very affordable; it had all the right cover too[msnsmile2]

Liesa,
We get free annual travel insurance from Lloyds bank (Gold or Platinum accounts) and although I informed their insurance co. of my high blood pressure there is no extra premium.
My mother in law , who is 75 also travels with us, and their extra annual premium for her is only around £50. (We had to complete a declaration about her health etc.)
