Cerebral Palsy Travel Insurance
Cerebral Palsy is a collection of conditions. Each affects movement and co-ordination.
If you have Cerebral Palsy it shouldn’t stop you from travelling abroad and enjoying a holiday. However, you will need to plan by ensuring you have a travel insurance policy that covers your medical condition.
Free Spirit Travel Insurance is a fully comprehensive policy with all the key features for a hassle-free holiday. We were the first scheme of its type dedicated to people who had been declined cover elsewhere due to their health. Today we are one of the UK’s largest specialist travel insurance providers.
Why Is It Important To Cover My Cerebral Palsy?
As long as your doctor or consultant have agreed you are fit to travel and provided you’re not awaiting surgery or further investigations, we will aim to offer an insurance quotation to cover not just your cerebral palsy but any other associated medical conditions that you may have.
Cancellation And Emergency Medical Expenses Cover
You will be covered for a minimum of £5 million of emergency medical expenses. So should you be unfortunate enough to require medical treatment while on holiday, you won’t have to bear the cost. In the event you lose or damage your prescribed cerebral palsy medication, this will also be covered.
If you need to cancel your holiday due to your insured medical conditions, Free Spirit can provide cover for your unused travel and accommodation costs that you have already paid for or are contracted to pay.

Consequences Of Not Covering Your Cerebral Palsy Medical Condition
Failing to include your cerebral palsy condition on your travel insurance could leave you open to paying out for expensive medical treatment and hospital costs; these could run into thousands of pounds. Unlike standard travel insurance policies that often exclude cover for pre-existing medical conditions, Free Spirit can provide cover for your cerebral palsy and any associated medical conditions to give you the protection you need when you travel.
If you have a carer or need cover for travelling companions whether they have a pre-existing medical condition or not, including them on the same Free Spirit policy will ensure you are all covered. If you had to cancel your holiday due to your cerebral palsy, insured persons on the same policy would also be covered which may not be the case if they had taken out a separate policy elsewhere.
Free Spirit ‘Super Duper’ level of cover has a 5 Star Rating
from Defaqto for both Single Trip and Annual Multi-trip travel insurance. This recognises that it is one of the highest quality offerings in the market.
How Can I Get Cerebral Palsy Travel Insurance?
Obtaining a quote for your travel insurance couldn’t be easier!
Free Spirit has a fully interactive website which includes online medical screening. We will ask you some questions about your cerebral palsy so that you get the travel insurance cover you need:
- Do you have weakness or paralysis of all four limbs?
- Has this caused any breathing problems or lung infections in the last two years?
- Do you have epilepsy?
You can apply for a quote online at a time to suit you. Our user-friendly online application system will guide you through the process. Sometimes though, we may need to speak to you to clarify something; if this is the case, we will ask you to call us.
If you’d rather speak to someone, or you need to discuss your medical circumstances, you could speak to a member of our friendly UK-based team. They are available on 02392 419 080.
