Do I need to declare asthma on my travel insurance?

If you have asthma, you will need to declare it on your travel insurance policy as a pre-existing condition.

With proper travel insurance in place that covers asthma, if you have a medical emergency while you’re away, or if you need to cancel your holiday – then you’ll be well protected.

What’s better is that you’ll be covered for things like lost baggage or stolen passports too.

With 1 in 20 people claiming on their Annual Travel Insurance in 2018**, it’s worth making sure that you’re properly covered.

Isn’t it worth doing right?

Should I declare my pre-existing medical conditions on my travel insurance?

It’s important you declare asthma and any other pre-existing medical condition you may have, when taking out a policy with us.

You can declare your medical condition through our online medical screening process, which is a straightforward set of questions for us to understand how your medical conditions affect you. Or, if you prefer, you can complete the medical screening over the phone.

It’s important that all pre-existing conditions are declared on your medical travel insurance policy. This will avoid large medical bills if you need treatment in another country. Failure to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions may affect the validity of your policy should you need to claim.

Rated 4.7/5 based on 79201 reviews

"I was unexpectedly diagnosed with an illness that was thankfully cured by surgery. I travel a lot and was unsure how this would affect travel insurance. I phoned Staysure and was given clear and helpful information, asked quite detailed health questions and was finally given a very competitive quote for an annual policy with the option to pay monthly. Very efficient service, great company to deal with."

"Very happy with a straighforward process. Good range of options available and very easy to enter the pre-existing medical conditions. Great cover provided at a good price"

"Always good value and easy to use and will cover medical conditions if needed"
