Able2Travel Travel Insurance
Specialist Medical Travel Insurance For People With Pre-existing Medical Conditions
Finding the best travel insurance for your pre-existing medical conditions or long term illness can be a struggle as many standard travel insurance policies offer limited or inadequate cover for pre-existing conditions. Even if you do manage to find a policy that meets your needs, the price could be end up being prohibitive.
As an older person, buying travel insurance that meets your requirements can also be difficult as many insurers are not keen to offer cover to senior travellers. At Able2Travel, we believe older travellers, and travellers with pre-existing medical conditions deserve the opportunity to travel with peace of mind at a reasonable price.
