Pre-existing medical conditions

No matter what your age is, it’s important that you have the correct travel insurance cover in place. It’s always important to consider your health and even more so before you purchase your policy.

When you purchase this insurance, you must declare all your pre-existing medical conditions no matter how small they are, failure to do so may result in your claim being refused.

When travelling with pre-existing conditions, make sure you have enough medication to last your trip and spares in case of emergencies.

Check the government’s travel advice in advance for further information on travel health, local healthcare, and travelling with medication.

If you’re concerned or unsure, please speak to one of our online agents through our live chat or take a look at our pre-existing medical conditions page.

At Select & Protect, we believe that age is just a number and everyone, no matter how old or young, should experience the joys of travel!
