Parkinson's Disease Travel Insurance
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that causes tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with movement.
We have designed a fully comprehensive Parkinson’s disease travel insurance for that much-needed holiday. It has all the key features you would expect to see from a standard policy and much more!
Many standard travel insurance policies exclude cover for pre-existing medical conditions such as Parkinson’s disease or will decline to offer cover. However, with Free Spirit you can obtain the insurance cover you need for your Parkinson’s disease and any associated medical conditions, to give you the peace of mind protection you need when you travel.
Important Reasons For Insuring Your Medical Condition
There are two main reasons for taking out specialist travel insurance for Parkinson’s disease. In the event you need to cancel your holiday due to your Parkinson’s disease, Free Spirit can provide cover for your unused travel and accommodation costs that you have paid or are contracted to pay. If you are unfortunate enough to have a medical emergency during your holiday because of your Parkinson’s disease, Free Spirit can provide cover for your associated costs, including repatriation.
Your travelling companions can also be covered by your Free Spirit policy, whether they have a pre-existing medical condition or not. Including them on the same Free Spirit policy means that if you had to cancel due to a disclosed medical condition, they would also be covered. This may not be the case if they had taken out a separate insurance elsewhere.

Top Accommodation Tips When Travelling With Parkinson's Disease
Planning for the right place to stay will make your trip more enjoyable. Here are some key things to consider:
Bathroom – if you use a wheelchair are the bathrooms accessible, are they fitted with grab-bars and seats?
Stairs – is there a lift, if not, it might be best to choose a room on the ground floor.
Access – are sightseeing attractions within easy walking distance? If you need to eat out, how close is the nearest restaurant, and is your accommodation close to the airport?
Medical – where is the nearest doctor or medical centre located? Familiarise yourself with the local emergency telephone number.
Consequences Of Not Covering Your Medical Conditions
Travelling abroad can be a worry for anyone if they have a medical condition, especially for people with Parkinson’s disease. Should you be unfortunate to have a medical emergency while you are away and you have failed to insure all of your medical conditions, this could leave you open to paying out expensive medical costs.
