Can I get travel insurance after a heart attack?
When you've had a heart attack, finding travel insurance might feel a little harder than it used to. By using PayingTooMuch to compare travel insurance, you can feel confident that you could find the best cover for your needs at an affordable price.
No matter how long ago you've had your heart attack, you'll always need to declare and cover it on your travel insurance. Else you might not be protected if you need to make a claim that could have been related to your heart attack.
What is the cost of travel insurance after a heart attack?
The cost of travel insurance depends on you and your trip. Here are some things that can affect the price:
Medical conditions: If you have a pre-existing medical condition, you might need a higher level of cover because you’re more likely to make a claim.
Destination: If you’re going to a country with more expensive healthcare or where natural disasters are more likely to impact your trip, your cover might cost more.
Activities: Some activities, like winter sports, can be risky. You’ll need extra cover if you want to enjoy them and feel reassured.
Trip length: If you’re going on a longer trip, the price will go up.
Level of cover: The higher level of cover, the more it’ll cost.
Age: The older you are, the higher the chance of getting sick or hurt either before or during your trip.
No matter your age, you can have the right cover at a price that’s fair as we specialise in travel insurance for over 50s, 60s and 70+.
