Why do I need travel insurance for cancer?

When travelling with cancer, you’ll need travel insurance to protect you, and any pre-existing medical conditions you have, if something unexpected happens while you’re away.

When you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, getting the right travel insurance can feel like hard work.

You may have already found that some insurers won’t cover you if you’re living with cancer or even if you’re in remission. But where we can help you to go on holiday and relax with peace of mind, we will.

If we can’t offer you a suitable policy, we can suggest alternatives so you can find the right travel insurance for your health and travel needs.

Do I need to declare cancer for travel insurance?

It’s important you declare cancer 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.

Excellent

"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!"
"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"

People also asked

The types of questions you can expect to be asked about your cancer include:

  • The specific name of the cancer, including:
  • Whether the cancer has spread
  • What treatment you’re undergoing, or will be undergoing
  • Whether the cancer has been completely removed
  • How long ago your last treatment was

If your cancer or any other aspect of your health changes after you’ve bought your policy, it’s vital that you let us know as soon as possible.

It may mean there’s an additional premium or change to the cover provided. In some rare cases, changes to your medical circumstances may mean that we have to withdraw your cover.

If you have terminal cancer we still may be able to cover your holiday.

As long as your doctor declares you fit enough to travel and your life expectancy is more than six months from the return date of your trip, we might be able to cover you with a Single Trip policy.

We are unable to give quotes for terminal cancer travel insurance online, so for more information please speak to our friendly team today.
