Anxiety Travel Insurance
Anxiety is a mental health condition characterized by excessive worry, fear, or apprehension, often accompanied by physical symptoms such as increased heart rate and restlessness, affecting daily functioning and well-being.
Travelling on holiday with a mental health condition, such as anxiety, can be difficult. With many standard travel insurance policies refusing to cover pre-existing medical conditions, the worry about what you would do if you needed emergency medical assistance while away can only add to the stress that you are feeling.
That’s where we can help. Free Spirit are proud to offer specialist travel insurance for anxiety sufferers, providing you with the peace of mind that you need.
Important Reasons For Insuring Your Medical Condition
There are two main benefits to having Free Spirit specialist travel insurance in place. Firstly, we provide cover from the moment you take out your policy*. If you have a particularly bad bout of anxiety and feel that you cannot go on your holiday and need to cancel the trip, Free Spirit will allow you to recoup some of the costs you have already spent. We will also cover your travel companions too if they have been included in your insurance.
While you’re on holiday, our travel insurance allows you to seek medical assistance if you fall ill or have an accident. Having to go to the doctor or to the hospital while abroad can be incredibly expensive. Having travel insurance means you don’t have to worry.
*Please note if you take out an Annual Multi-trip policy you will be covered from the date that you start your policy.

Top Tips For Travelling With Anxiety
According to the charity Anxiety UK, anxiety affects around 5 people in every 100. Travelling when you suffer from anxiety can be challenging, but the key is to be prepared.
- For some people, the travel – particularly if you are flying – is a key source of anxiety. Try to plan far in advance so you know exactly what to expect on travel day and plan extra time so you can take a breather if you need to.
- Medication is available to help and therapies such as meditation and deep breathing can help to keep you as calm as possible.
- When away on holiday ensure that you stay hydrated and relaxed. Take the time to rest and allow your body to lose some of the anxious stress you have no doubt been building up.
Anxiety shouldn’t stop you from being able to enjoy your life and that includes holidays and travel. With Free Spirit’s specialist travel insurance for anxiety it’s one less thing to worry about.

″I found the operators to be very knowledgeable and sympathetic and I would certainly recommend you to others. It is about more than just insurance to me, and to other cancer patients who want a relaxing holiday to look forward to. I have wanted to on the QEII since I was ten years old and as she is being retired I knew this would be my only chance. I was so pleased that Free Spirit could help me.″
