Travel Insurance with Cancer

Whatever journey you’re making, it’s important to be prepared for the unexpected. No one wants to be stuck at the airport or face a large medical bill while abroad.

If you’re travelling with cancer, having the right cover matters even more.

At Norton Insurance Brokers, we take a practical approach to travel insurance. We help you find cover that reflects your situation, whether you’re in remission, undergoing treatment, or planning a trip after a diagnosis.

We work with insurers who understand pre-existing medical conditions. This means your policy can be tailored to your medical history, your destination, and your travel plans.

Planning a cruise or winter sports holiday? We’ll provide additional cover so you’re fully protected too.

What do you need to declare for travel insurance with cancer?

If you have cancer, travel insurance works slightly differently. You’ll need to declare your condition when arranging cover.

We recommend thinking about the following:

Have you been diagnosed recently or are you in remission?
Are you currently receiving treatment or taking medication?
Have there been any recent changes in your condition?
Where are you travelling and for how long?
Do you need higher medical cover for your destination?

Your personal client manager will discuss the options with you and ensure you get a travel insurance policy that fits the bill for you, and for your family. And if you ever need to make changes, simply give them a call on 0121 248 9440.

What are my travel insurance options

Many people arrange travel insurance for each trip. But if you travel more than once a year, an annual policy can make things simpler.

Annual travel insurance covers multiple trips within a 12-month period. Once it’s in place, you don’t need to arrange cover each time you travel.

For people travelling with cancer, this can reduce admin. You won’t need to go through the same process each time, as long as your medical situation hasn’t changed.

Single-trip policies are still available if you’re planning a one-off journey.

We’ll help you decide which option works best for you.

Travel insurance after cancer treatment or in remission

Many people ask if they can get travel insurance after cancer treatment.

In most cases, you can.

If you’re in remission or have completed treatment, insurers will usually look at:

How long ago treatment ended
Whether you’re still taking medication
If you have any ongoing symptoms or follow-ups

Every situation is different. That’s why it’s important to give accurate information when arranging your cover.

At Norton Insurance Brokers, we’ll help you find insurers who understand your situation and offer suitable cover.

Skiing downhill - Norton Insurance Brokers

Specialist protection for

Skiing and extreme adventure sports

If you’re heading to the slopes, or climbing a cliff face, you most likely won’t be automatically covered by a standard travel insurance policy. We can arrange winter sports travel insurance, and cover for other ‘extreme’ sports which are considered higher risk.

It’s best to let us know when setting up your policy exactly what activities you’re planning, or may take part in on any trip. While you can add this type of protection onto single-trip policies, you can also get these kinds of cover included in an annual travel insurance policy. Your personal client manager will be able to talk through the options with you to help you decide what will be most suitable for your needs.

Travel insurance FAQs

Can you get travel insurance with cancer?

Yes, in most cases you can get travel insurance with cancer. You’ll need to declare your condition, including any treatment, medication, or recent changes. Insurers will assess your situation and offer cover based on the information you provide.

Do you have to declare cancer on travel insurance?

Yes. Cancer is a pre-existing medical condition, so it must be declared. This includes being in remission, undergoing treatment, or waiting for tests. Not declaring it could mean a claim is rejected.

Can you get travel insurance after cancer treatment or in remission?

Yes. Many people get cover after treatment or while in remission. Insurers will usually look at how long ago treatment ended, whether you’re still taking medication, and if you have ongoing check-ups.

Can you get travel insurance while undergoing cancer treatment?

It depends on your situation. Some insurers will offer cover while you’re undergoing treatment, but terms may vary. It’s important to be clear about your condition so the policy reflects your needs.

When is it too late to buy travel insurance if you have cancer?

You can arrange travel insurance up until the day you travel, but earlier is better. Buying cover as soon as you book your trip means you’re protected for cancellation if your condition changes.
