Why do I need travel insurance for cancer?

When you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, getting the right travel insurance can seem a lot tougher.

Having proper travel insurance in place can give you peace of mind so you can enjoy your holiday comfortably.

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.

Find out more about how we can insure you when you’re living with cancer, or in remission below. When you’re ready, you can either get a quote online or call us on 0800 033 4902.

Should I declare my pre-existing medical conditions on my 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 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"
