Travel Insurance - a horror story

I've just read this awful story on the BBC website which reminds us all of the need to make sure we list everything we've ever suffered from on Travel Insurance applications, however long ago or irrelevant these may seem. 

I'll not say what my feelings are about this particular company as this might breach the rules of the forum, but my sympathies are obviously with the family involved.

    Hi,

    Squire mentioned Insurewith who I have used recently and they paid up quickly after a non cancer related (theft from a vehicle) claim.

    I've also used Essential Travel in the past - including a trip to India within days of ending chemo. 

    It's always worth posting a new query as the market is pretty changeable at the moment and far better than it was even 5 years ago. Someone on here probably has more recent information.

     

    Good luck!
