When taking out travel insurance with your holiday provider, always check that it covers medical treatment and does not exclude ‘a pre-existing medical condition’.
The Equality Act 2010 makes it illegal for insurance companies to charge a disabled person more for an insurance policy without evidence that proves that the disabled person is a greater risk than a non-disabled person.
The insurance providers listed below specialise in catering for disabled people or people with a pre-existing medical condition.
