When you have lung cancer, it can be difficult to get travel insurance. In some cases, the cost of insurance can be more than the holiday!
There are many different insurers. We recommend speaking to specialist insurers who understand pre-existing medical conditions because they are able to tailor the insurance they provide to cover your condition and situation.
We are proud to partner with Insurancewith to help people with lung cancer find appropriate travel insurance.
Many of the people we speak to find Insurancewith provide appropriate travel insurance for those living with all stages of lung cancer by asking questions which are relevant to you and your condition.
This allows them to consider travel insurance cover at a fairer price for cancer patients, even those with advanced lung cancer and those who may have struggled to find a policy elsewhere.
“Insurancewith is a genuine insurer for people with medical issues. My wife has lung cancer, and I would say all the others only looked at her diagnosis instead of her condition. The other insurers wanted £1100 but Insurancewith was so much lower because they asked so many questions to understand her condition and gave us a reasonable quote which we gladly accepted.“

About Insurancewith
Insurancewith was founded in 2007 by insurance professional, Fiona Macrae, who was unable to find affordable travel insurance after she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Fiona wanted to create an insurance company that looked beyond the black and white of a cancer diagnosis, a policy provider who takes into account a thorough understanding of your medical situation.
By doing this, Insurancewith consider travel insurance for everyone, including people living with all stages of lung cancer. They are able to accurately assess your personal circumstances, provide you with a fair premium, and offer you better support in an emergency situation abroad.
As a charity partner, Insurancewith will also make a donation to us for every policy taken out through our dedicated partnership page. This is done at no extra cost to you or your policy, making it an easy way to support our work and ensuring you have reliable and suitable holiday insurance.

Fiona kindly hosted a webinar about travelling with cancer, answering questions from people who were struggling to find appropriate insurance.
