What to look for when buying specialist travel insurance

choosing-insurance buying a specialist travel insurance

If you have an existing medical condition or disability, finding travel insurance to suit you can seem like a daunting task. Being refused cover from standard holiday insurance providers may have even put you off the idea of travelling altogether in the past.

This is where Free Spirit can help. As one of the leading providers of specialist travel insurance, we pride ourselves on offering cover to people with an extensive range of medical conditions and disabilities. In fact, we aim to provide travel insurance to people of any age with almost any existing medical condition or disability.

We know it’s important to be able to take a break with your nearest and dearest, so we do our utmost to provide travel cover that will allow you to do just that.

What makes our travel insurance ‘specialist’?

Standard travel insurance is often limited in the cover provided and the mention of a certain age milestone or an existing health condition or disability can automatically make them unsuitable.

The specialist travel insurance we can provide is different. Free Spirit covers nearly all medical conditions and disabilities, including all types of cancer, heart conditions and mental health conditions.

There is also no upper age limit with our holiday insurance, meaning that we can help more people enjoy time away from home than most standard travel insurance providers.

Free Spirit offers two levels of cover, Super and Super Duper, and whether you need cover for a short break, your main summer holiday or even for multiple trips abroad, we are confident we can offer travel insurance to meet your requirements. Each cover level includes a certain amount of cover for an extensive range of benefits, including emergency medical expenses, repatriation to your home country, cancellation & curtailment, loss or damage to medical aids and medication and even covering kennel or cattery costs in the event that you are delayed coming home due to illness.

What’s more, specialist travel insurance from Free Spirit can cover not just you but your entire travelling party, eliminating the need for separate policies and the possible insurance gaps this can create.
