"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."

People also asked

The questions we ask will vary depending on your circumstances, but the types of questions you can expect for Parkinson’s include:

  • Do you require assistance with eating or dressing or washing?
  • Do you currently use any mobility aids?
  • How many unplanned hospital admissions have you had for this condition in the last 12 months?
  • Has this condition caused any difficulties with swallowing?

You will be medically covered if you have an accident when using your mobility scooter, if you have fully disclosed and covered your pre-existing medical conditions.

We can't provide Personal Accident cover (if you become permanently disabled or lose a limb, sight or hearing) or Personal Liability (for injury to a third party or damage to property) if an accident occurs when using a mobility scooter.

Please note: we are not able to cover the mobility scooter itself if it is lost or damaged.

If you’re concerned about whether it’s safe for you to fly with Parkinson’s, it’s important for you to get your doctor’s advice and go-ahead that you’re fit to travel.
Flying with Parkinson’s is certainly possible, but will depend on the severity of your condition and how flying will affect your personal comfort.

Some prefer travelling by boat or train, as planes have limited room.

Many airlines will let you pre-book your seat on the plane. This may work to your advantage, as choosing an aisle seat will give you more legroom. You may also prefer to be seated closer to a toilet.

Some airlines will charge extra for pre-booking seats, so if you’re unsure, contact them before booking your trip.

If you’re travelling in Europe (excluding Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland) a EHIC or GHIC entitles you to free or subsidised emergency healthcare when using the country’s state healthcare provider.

But although an EHIC or GHIC may entitle you to reduced healthcare costs, it doesn’t replace the value of proper travel insurance.

An EHIC or GHIC won’t cover you if you lose your passport, if your luggage is stolen or if your flight is delayed. Nor will it cover holiday cancellations or the cost of being flown home by air ambulance because of a medical emergency.

It is a condition of our insurance that you take an EHIC or GHIC with you on your travels in Europe.
