Hi, I was having the same problem, but then found AllClear and they have been amazing. I would give them a call or look online. 

Anyone looking for travel insurance, best advice I received was to call into Maggies. They gave me a 4 sheet listing of a large number of insurance companies, which has proved very helpful.

Are you able to share the list please

Hi I am having trouble getting insurance quotes - could you share the list please ?

Hi Sarah

I forgot to Add Post Office travel insurance.

Plus the Maggies list

And travel insurance directory.

Answer all questions correctly. Phone is often better as questions can be a bit generic online.  Get several quotes as they can vary by several hunderd pounds for same level of cover.

Hopefully you can get your away for your holiday while being insured.

It's a nightmare.  Even contacting members on the list e.g insurance with, which was set up to provide insurance for cancer patients either won't cover or there's an enormous premium. Has anyone experience of going without cover just relying on ehic or going with eg premium account with Nationwide who will cover you but exclude  declared conditions?

Last three trips abroad to Europe Ive just relied on GHIC card in case of acute emergency. Plus a credit card with plenty headroom. My quotes have been IRO £1500. Obviously do not travel if you currently feel unwell.

Hi Farmer_Ed. We were thinking the same. However,  we've just joined the Austrian mountaineering society. Which seems to provide annual insurance cover for £50 no questions about previous health conditions.  Maybe too good to be true? I've used them before for high altitude trekking in the Himalayas but never had to claim. Post office asks the usual questions then turned is down. 

Hi Paul

Did you try running your details through the comparison website

I am usually able to get one or two quotes. Then laugh and take my own risk. I am on immunotherapy and cancer is incurable. If you are doing serious trekking then you must be fairly fit. If you had to cancel your trip and pay for another flight home it would be way cheaper than the policy. You can always insure your belongings as a stand alone policy.
