Affordable travel cover can be hard to find if you’re an older traveller with a pre-existing medical condition, but it is possible to track down insurance that won’t break the bank if you know where to look.
Mrs Carol Brown, 77, searched for a single trip insurance quote for a two-week trip to Canada to visit family, but found policies provided through SAGA and Tesco Bank to be more than £400. Mrs Brown then turned to payingtoomuch.com after seeing the number of positive Trustpilot reviews online and was amazed to find the same level of cover provided by the other insurers for only £98.
Mrs Brown said: “I am delighted to have discovered payingtoomuch.com and saved myself £300 in the process. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to afford the trip, especially if I had to pay the first quote I received. The lesson is, don’t accept the first quote you see! The service I received was extremely helpful and I didn’t feel pressured to buy a policy. I would recommend this service to anyone, especially those with a pre-existing medical condition”.
Finding an affordable policy
One method to keep premiums down is to shop around and carry out some price comparisons. For example, through payingtoomuch.com, we will compare policies from a range of insurers offering different levels of cover to suit most requirements. Whatever age you are, never be tempted to conceal medical conditions to get cover, as this will invalidate your policy in the event of a claim.
Chris Pannell, Regional Travel Manager from payingtoomuch.com said: "Honesty is always the best policy when it comes to travel insurance, and declaring all pre-existing conditions is a necessity, to ensure you have adequate cover when abroad. Declaring medical conditions doesn’t always mean that the price of your insurance will sky-rocket. It does however ensure you are fully protected if the worst were to happen."
If you find that a policy is hundreds of pounds more than you believe it should be, then you should shop around as you will likely find a more affordable policy that will still cover you.
