Travel Insurance After a Heart Attack
For the Love of Travel, with Cover After a Heart Attack
Recovering from a heart attack doesn’t mean you have to put your holiday plans on hold or miss out on the adventures you’ve been looking forward to.
We understand that travelling after a heart attack requires a little more preparation — from managing your medication and maintaining your routine, to checking local healthcare options and knowing what to do in a medical emergency.
You’re not alone — in the UK, around 1.4 million people have experienced and survived a heart attack. One of the questions we’re asked most often is, “Can you get travel insurance after a heart attack?” At Able2Travel, the answer is usually yes, depending on your individual circumstances.
Our travel insurance after a heart attack includes cover if you need to cancel your trip due to being too ill to travel, access emergency medical treatment abroad, or replace essential medication that is lost, stolen, or delayed.
You’ll also be protected against common travel issues such as missed departures, delays, or lost baggage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Heart Attack Travel Insurance
1. Does Travel Insurance Cover Heart Attack If Not Declared?
No — if you’ve had a heart attack in the past and don’t declare this pre-existing medical condition when purchasing your travel insurance, your policy may be invalid during your trip.
If your condition changes in any way after you've taken out your policy – such as a change in medication – please let us know so we can ensure your cover remains up to date.
2. What Will I Be Asked When Buying Heart Attack Holiday Insurance?
To make sure your heart attack holiday insurance gives you the right cover, you’ll need to answer a short set of medical screening questions. Your information is always treated as strictly confidential. Medical screening typically covers:
- Diagnosis & Medical History – Details of your heart attack and how severe it was
- Associated Conditions – Any related health conditions linked to your heart condition
- Medical Procedure – Information about treatments you’ve had and when they took place
- Hospital admissions – Any unplanned hospital stays related to your condition in the last year
- Current Treatment – Medications prescribed, specialist referrals, or whether you’re awaiting tests, results, or surgery
3. How Much Is Travel Insurance for After a Heart Attack?
The cost of travel insurance following a heart attack isn’t fixed, as it’s based on several factors. These usually include your age, destination, trip duration, and how well-managed your condition is.
The price may also be affected if you have other pre-existing medical conditions that need to be declared on your policy.
4. What Types of Travel Insurance for Post Heart Attack Are Available?
At Able2Travel, we offer two main types of cover, depending on how often you travel:
- Single Trip Cover: Designed for one-off holidays, with cover running from the day your trip begins until you return home.
- Annual Multi-Trip Cover: Ideal if you take multiple trips throughout the year, providing cover for unlimited trips within a 12-month period.
5. What Destinations are Covered Under Holiday Insurance for Heart Attack?
At Able2Travel, we offer cover for travellers who have suffered a heart attack and are travelling within the UK, across Europe, and worldwide. Our cover is divided into the following areas:
- Area 1: The United Kingdom including Northern Ireland.
- Area 2: Western Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Madeira, and Iceland (including Area 1).
- Area 3: Worldwide excluding North America.
- Area 4: Worldwide including North America.
Please note there is no cover for you travelling to an area that FCDO have advised against ‘All Travel’ or ‘All but Essential Travel’.
We are also unable to provide cover to some countries due to the existence of international sanctions – please see our homepage for an up-to-date list.
6. Why Do I Need Heart Attack Holiday Insurance If I Have a GHIC?
The GHIC (Global Health Insurance Card) allows access to state-provided healthcare in some European countries. However, it should not be relied on as a substitute for holiday insurance after a heart attack, as it doesn’t cover:
- Private medical treatment, if this is the most appropriate option for you to receive treatment
- Cost of emergency medical transport back to the UK (medical repatriation)
- Unexpected incidents such as trip cancellations, travel delays, or lost/damaged luggage
