Compare travel insurance built around your needs
It's important to know you're covered if something goes wrong whilst on holiday and that's harder if you have a pre-existing medical condition to declare.
Just Travel Cover compares cover from a panel of insurers, all of whom consider pre-existing medical conditions. Whether it's a week in the sun or a round the world cruise, Just Travel Cover can help you find cover that fits.
Single Trip
Cover for one holiday, from the day you book to the day you get home. Don't leave it until the last minute. It's worthwhile sorting your insurance when you book.
Annual Multi-Trip
If you're travelling more than once or twice a year, one annual policy usually works out cheaper than buying cover each time. Trip length limits apply, so check the policy suits your longest trip.
Cruise Cover
Cruise holidays bring their own risks, from missed ports to cabin confinement. Cruise cover is available as an add-on, with pre-existing medical conditions considered.
Pre-Existing Medical Conditions
You can compare cover from insurers with pre-existing conditions taken into account. Declaring a condition up front means you know where you stand before you travel.

Mark Bates Ltd has partnered with Just Travel Cover to help customers find travel insurance, including cover for many pre-existing medical conditions.
Just Travel Cover is listed on the MoneyHelper Travel Insurance Directory and the BIBA Travel Medical Directory. Both directories list FCA-regulated providers with experience in arranging cover for people with medical conditions.
If you have a serious or complex medical condition, have been declined cover, been offered cover that excludes your condition, or found the price particularly high, you may want to look at other providers on those directories. They're free to use, though being listed doesn't guarantee a provider can offer you cover.
