Asthma Travel Insurance

Our specialist policies are designed for anyone who needs to declare asthma, including those who:

• Have recently been diagnosed with asthma
• Are currently managing their condition, whether it is mild or severe
• Have a history of asthma, regardless of how long ago it was active

Yes. Even if your asthma is mild and you rarely use an inhaler, it is still considered a pre-existing medical condition. This means you must declare it when purchasing your travel insurance for mild asthma.

Being open about your medical condition ensures you get the suitable mild asthma travel insurance cover for your needs and, most importantly, that your policy is valid.

If your asthma changes in any way after you've taken out your policy, please let us know so we can ensure your cover remains up to date.

While the GHIC (Global Health Insurance Card) gives you access to state-provided healthcare in EU countries, it doesn’t act as a substitution for travel insurance for asthma sufferers. The GHIC has important limitations on what it can cover. For example, it won’t cover costs for private medical treatment and getting you home if medically needed (known as repatriation).

Additionally, travel insurance for asthma sufferers provides protection against problems like trip cancellations or lost baggage while abroad.

To make sure your holiday insurance with asthma provides the right protection, we’ll ask a few straightforward questions about your medical condition. Rest assured, your responses are always kept strictly confidential.

They will typically cover areas such as:

• Hospital Admissions – Details about any unplanned hospital visits you've had for your breathing condition in the last 12 months
• Current Treatment – Information about the medication you're regularly prescribed and any oxygen use
• Severity of Symptoms – The current impact of your asthma on your daily life and whether you've had any recent serious infections
