Consequences Of Not Covering Your Medical Conditions
While it is not a legal requirement to cover your medical conditions when travelling abroad, imagine how you would feel if you were left out of pocket from pre-paid holiday costs because you had to cancel your holiday due to your uterine cancer. There are many standard policies available at very cheap prices, however, do not be fooled! It is unlikely they will include the cover you need.
Always add travelling companions to your policy, they could be your friends, family members or even your carer. They too should be able to claim if you needed to cancel your holiday because of your medical condition. Plus, they should be covered if it had to be cut short while away because you became unwell.
Top Tips For Travelling With Uterus Cancer
- Buy specialist cancer holiday insurance through a dedicated travel insurance provider. By doing this, you can be sure that they will understand your condition and tailor a policy to your individual travel needs.
- Before deciding on your holiday destination, consider travelling to countries within Europe rather than further afield. Medical costs can be much more expensive especially if you choose to go to the USA or even Australia. This doesn’t mean we can’t cover you outside Europe, however, be prepared for higher premiums.
- Read the small print, check that your policy not only covers you for emergency medical expenses but also for cancellation costs, loss of personal belongings, travel documents and your prescribed cancer medication.
- Always check the excess you would have to pay if you should have to make a claim. Some travel insurance policies may initially offer cheap prices but include large excesses.

Customer reviews
″I thought I would never get travel insurance with my schizophrenia. Then I looked on MINDs website and found a company that dealt with these types of conditions. I thought the website was quick and easy to use and asked some quite pertinent questions about my mental health. In the end the insurance only cost £40. I was very pleased and would certainly use them again.″
