Can I get travel insurance with lung cancer?
If you’re living with lung cancer, you could still get covered and have peace of mind while you’re on holiday. Acceptance depends on the stage of your cancer. You should be able to find affordable cover if:
· Your condition is diagnosed and no longer being investigated
· You’re not on a waiting list for surgery or a procedure
· You’ve been discharged from post-operative checks
· Your lung cancer hasn’t been diagnosed as terminal

What will I be asked if I want travel insurance for lung cancer?
Living with lung cancer doesn’t always mean you can’t get travel insurance and explore the world. Through PayingTooMuch, you could find the right cover through our well-known insurers who offer cover for pre-existing medical conditions. All you need to do is answer some questions about your health.
This might include:
- How long you’ve lived with lung cancer
- If you’ve received any treatment, and when
- If you have any related medical conditions
- What stage your lung cancer is
Questions might vary. It’s important to be honest about your medical conditions to make sure you can find the best cover for your needs.
How much is travel insurance for lung cancer patients?
There is no one-price-fits-all for holiday cover. It all depends on you and your trip type. Some factors that might impact the costs include:
Medical conditions
If you have any other pre-existing medical conditions, as well as your lung cancer, your policy will be more expensive. This is because you’re more likely to make a claim.
Destination
The cost of healthcare varies across countries. If you’re travelling somewhere where it’s more expensive, like the USA, your cover will be more expensive.
Activities
If you want to enjoy high-risk activities, such as skiing, you might need a higher level of medical cover to make sure you’re protected if you have an accident.
Age
The older you get, the more likely you’ll need to make a medical claim on your insurance. This will make it more expensive. Find specialist cover for the over 50s, 60s and 70+ to make sure you get the right policy.
