"Excellent service on phone when buying travel insurance. We have used Staysure before and had to make a claim from Singapore in an emergency situation. It was handled well, and all financial payments were dealt with efficiently and speedily. Would highly recommend!"
5.0 -
"Have used Staysure for a number of years. 2 yrs ago had to cancel our holiday because my husband needed an urgent operation. Staysure sorted our claim with no fuss or hassle and quickly."
5.0 -
"Very easy to find and go through quote and questions online. Price was better that the competition. Felt like I was human, particularly when answering questions on pre-existing medical conditions. Some other insurers make you feel that you are a third rate citizen because you have medical conditions."

You can get cover for:

  • Slipped disc
  • Sciatica
  • Sciatic nerve damage
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Osteopenia or Osteoporosis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Spondylolisthesis

  • Fractures to the back

If you're awaiting surgery on your back we might still be able to cover you, but your policy may not include cover for incidents directly or indirectly related to your pre-existing medical conditions.

Everyone’s medical history is different, but we’ll usually ask you the following sorts of questions:

  • In the last 5 years, has this condition affected your ability to wash, dress or feed yourself?
  • Do you take pain relief daily for this condition?
  • Have you had any of these treatments for your back or neck in the last 12 months?
  • Are you awaiting further treatment for this condition?

To make a claim, contact us as soon as possible (ideally within 48 hours of the incident).

You’ll need your policy number to hand, so it's a good idea to take a copy of your travel insurance details on your trip. You’ll also need to send us any relevant receipts, test results and other evidence that support your claim.
