Lung Cancer Travel Insurance

Specialist lung cancer travel insurance cover

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in the UK - around 47,000 people are diagnosed with it each year. That’s why we want to make sure past and present lung cancer patients can still get all the protection they need.

We know that for many people living with this condition, going on holiday takes the day-to-day pressure off and helps you relax.

So, if you’re planning a getaway, we want you to be able to focus on the important things, like relaxing and enjoying your trip. But standard travel insurance policies might not cover you if the unexpected happens. That’s why we help you find the best deal before you go.

We’ve teamed up with specialist travel insurance providers to find the right cover for you and your needs - at the right price.

What does lung cancer travel insurance typically cover?

Specialist travel insurance for people with lung cancer usually includes the following:

• Emergency medical expenses and repatriation - if you need medical treatment because of your condition or if you need to be repatriated back to the UK in a medical emergency
• Lost, stolen or damaged personal belongings - including any medication
• Cancellation and curtailment - the insurance company will cover you in the event of needing to cancel your trip or cut it short (usually for a medical reason)
• Travel delay - this won’t always be included, so check with your provider
• Personal liability - if you cause accidental damage to another person or someone else’s property

We offer lung cancer travel insurance, as well as travel insurance for cancer patients (perfect if your cancer is unique), epilepsy travel insurance, travel insurance for heart conditions, and more. Even for those with multiple illnesses or conditions, our travel insurance with pre-existing medical conditions and simple medical screening process can ensure you get protection and give you the peace of mind you need to enjoy the holiday you deserve.

Optional extras

You can also include add-ons in your cover, depending on what type of trip you're taking and what you need your policy to include. For example:

• Gadget cover
