Many cancer patients are being quoted and charged thousands of pounds for travel insurance policies
Travel insurance can be a minefield – but it’s often even worse for those suffering with serious illness charity has petitioned the Government to prevent insurance companies from discriminating against people with cancer by frequently charging them too much forFor insurers, people with or who have had cancer are a bigger risk.
Now in her seventies, Ms Secretan was diagnosed with cancer last year. Her attempts to find affordable travel insurance are all too familiar to Maggie’s., “After ringing around insurance companies, I got some ridiculous quotes. One was £3,500.”Ms Secretan was horrified, given that one in two people will get cancer at some point in their lifetime.
She also lacked confidence in the policies that were available to her: “I’m sure some companies would find any way not to pay out on a claim. They might say, ‘Oh, she fell in a river and broke her ankle because the cancer treatment was making her feel dizzy.” The charity also warns that it won’t cover the cost of getting you home in an emergency and say it’s important to have the right travel insurance even when travelling in the EU.
