Sounds like a reasonable price.

Thank you.. What I did was take out a annual classic policy with gadget protection. Plus my medical issues.and up to 50 days per trip Found a discount code and got the policy covering me and my wife for £288.00.
And that was with avanti......

Thanks. I think the problem is when they ask if it is terminal. My understanding is that MND is terminal (this is what we were told when given the diagnosis) does this mean we can’t get travel insurance as it appears to be the case ( also turned down by All Clear)

As soon as I put in terminal it was a big NO
Why, it might be classified as a terminal illness, but are all we all going to drop dead in the next 2 months

I had the same issue but after discussing with the insurance company (we use ‘it’s so easy’) they said to classify as Life limiting rather than terminal, unless of course, the consultant had specifically given a timeframe.
They’ve insured my husband for a few trips since his diagnosis on this basis.

and when you disclose MND, several more questions about your condition

it accepted me, mainstream insurers didn't bother to ask further questions
