Why do I need travel insurance for cancer?

Your cancer diagnosis shouldn’t stop you seeing the world. After all, a holiday is a great way to get away from it all or to celebrate the all-clear.

That’s why you can get cover for most pre-existing medical conditions, including cancer, with one of our policies.

Travel insurance for cancer patients can cover you for things outside of your control, such as:

  • Emergency medical expenses
  • Having to cancel your holiday
  • Cutting your holiday short
  • Travel delays
  • Lost or stolen baggage, money, and passports

Plus, you can call us 24/7 from anywhere in the world in an emergency. We can help you find appropriate medical care, and even support with translating between you and the local medical team.

If we’re unable to cover you, check the Money Helper Travel Insurance Directory. It lists other specialist insurers, who might be able to help.

Isn’t it worth doing right?

"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"

- Your life expectancy is more than six months from the return date of your trip

To see if we can cover your trip, give our friendly team a call. Unfortunately, we’re unable to give you a quote for your trip online.

If you’ve received treatment, been prescribed medication, attended any consultations, investigations or check-ups for cancer in the last two years you’ll need to let us know, along with any other medical conditions you may have. Even if you are currently in remission or cancer-free.

If you don’t tell us about your past cancer history, you may not be covered if you need to make a claim.
