travel insurance

DH and I both have pre-existing medical conditions and are in our early 60's. We've had an annual Europe policy with the AA for many years and I think it was about £130 last year and we were able to add on a 2 week trip to Dubai at a reasonable cost.

Elizabeth1 - that is not the case with all travel insurance. You do have to advise them if you are having medical investigations, or are awaiting a procedure but your Travel Insurance certainly does not always become invalid.

LadyGracie Thanks very much for the mention of the "Ehic Plus" insurance. That's one I've never heard of. Have made a note for future needs.

insurancewith.com gets good reviews, but we got a good deal (£81 for a year via comparethemarket.com).

Sorry if this has been posted before.

I am 64 and have a few pre-existing conditions and went on a comparison website and took out an annual policy with Virgin Travel insurance for £260. Reading through the policy i am also covered for winter sports so must have clicked a button for that by mistake!

'I'm surprised Nationwide covered you for Tunisia Babcia, particularly in view of the advice from our government for the past two years. For almost 20 years until a health problems put a temporary stop to it I visited the country twice a year, usually Sousse. I very much hope to get back again before the end of this year. Some years ago I spent a few days in Clinique Essalem after slicing my foot open tripping on a pirate boat.

Holidaysafe was the best I could find
