Travel Insurance

[LiesaAnna]

can anyone help me please?
we have previously bought our travel insurance from charter above, have asked for it again but have been told as i am a high blood pressure sufferer that the premium is likely to be 4 times higher, dont know why, i have said before that i have high blood pressure, i am not under the hospital for it any more nor have i been for about 2 years now or maybe longer, i think, i take medication daily and it has been under control for quite a while
has anyone got any companies i can use that wont cost an arm and a leg but will give me a decent cover should i need hospital treatment?? thanx!

I have heard Tesco give good cover for a reasonable premium - may be worth checking with them

We have a tesco's policy. Its an annual as we tend to travel moer than once a year. Also with our policy, once it is a month old, you can use your tesco vouchers to pay for it and get your money back, We do this every year and have free insurance.

Liesa,

Try M&S, Sainsbury's and Tesco.

If you get stuck let me know and I'll go thru all the papers I have from sorting out my Mum & Dad's. (I don't mean from the age point of view of course [msnwink] - but the medical conditions!!!!)
I have a great long list somehwere.....

Sorry to butt in, does anyone know a company that will cover someone thats age 77??? Mariannes Gran is traveling with us in 3 weeks and most companies stop at 65[msnsad]

We have just had a really good quote from Boots which includes Scuba Diving.

Hi Liesa, We were advised by the hospital to use Worldwide 01892 833338 who do a proper medical assesment instead of a points formula.This saved us £100 on the next cheapest.We also always take a year as it also covers you for trips in this country (and if you are crafty,you book your next trip in the timespan (Good excuse to go more often?)

I would try Age Concern or similar for your relative Paul and Marianne

We have taken my mother (84) to the US on a few occasions and only found a couple of companies - Age Concern & Help the Aged. Make sure you are sitting down when they quote the premium!!
