How much for travel insurance?

[SweepforAssassins]

We're off on holiday in June to Greece so need travel insurance. But to complicate it we all have our issues, one traveller has mild asthma, one type 2 diabetes, one with autism although he's totally independent and another awaiting treatment for ingrown toenails, fifth traveller awaiting a blood test. I've been quoted £180 for multi trip cover. Does this seem reasonable?

Seems not bad for 5 people
Do make sure you have declared everything tho...even things from years ago

Sounds about right - however, check your bank account as you may have travel insurance included (we have it with a Natwest account).

Yes. We paid about £250 for annual worldwide (inc. expensive USA) for two of us with a variety of minor issues.

Read the policy wording carefully - some require you to declare everything from the last 5 years, others two. Once I’d found a likely option on the search sites I went directly to the insurer’s site to be sure I was definitely answering the right questions.

You may have difficulty with getting insurance for anyone awaiting the outcome of tests. Once there’s a plan they seem quite happy.

I get worldwide travel insurance included with my bank account (RBS) for 4 of us. One of that group has diabetes and high blood pressure. We don't pay anything extra for that.

Mine is close to £400 so that’s a fantastic price. Even before medical conditions it was about £90

Speaking from experience, a lot of insurers won't cover you if you're waiting for any tests/hospital appointments/treatment.

Seems good value. We just arranged annual cover for two with similar health issues for c. £100

You will definitely struggle for those people awaiting treatment. Thats usually a straight decline.

Agree, tried a few weeks ago when I was awaiting an outpatients appointment and it was a straight no. Afterwards no problem.
