Travel insurance

Hi

I am new to all this. Partner has been diagnosed with Advanced prostate cancer and wants to go to Guernsey. Anyone any experience of trying to get travel/ health insurance? We must have some as Guernsey no longer has a reciprocal agreement with the U.K. Re health care costs.

 

thanks

    As Lucie has said insurance comes up regularly because its so confusing. There are several companies who will cover you for cancer but the premiums can be very expensive. I had an annual policy and when I told them off my diagnosis they would continue to cover me but not for cancer. My husband and I decided to continue with our insurer and take the risk if we had to cancel. It depends on your financial situation and is a slight risk. Strangely enough we have made two claims last year, one when my husband had to go the doctor in Austria and one holiday we had to cancel because my mum was taken into hospital. They paid out with no problem.

    We went to Guernsey several years ago for a few days and really enjoyed it.
