Sadly I don't. Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.If you already have VHI, look at their annual travel cover.
Thank you very much. I'll investigate those. Much appreciated.Getcover and Multitrip both cover pre existing medical conditions but you have to ring another number to declare them
I'm afraid not, Ravima. Thank you for trying, though.have you Irish health insurance? LAYA do travel insurance
Unfortunately I think most of the well known brokers use the same underwriters as Insure and Go: Mapfre, so may have the same limitations.Insure and Go won't offer me medical cover for several conditions I have, so is useless.
Thanks a million for this. I shall certainly look at those.Unfortunately I think most of the well known brokers use the same underwriters as Insure and Go: Mapfre, so may have the same limitations.
Maybe try Accident & General, or insuremyholiday.ie. They both have their own medical screening team, rather than an online "computer says no".
Another one to try is the AA. Travel insurance underwriter is Inter Partner Assistance SA (Axa), and they do medical screening by phone.
I've no idea if they provide cover for existing conditions, but you could try Glennons. Their travel underwriter is Chubb, so may be different to Mapfre.
Unfortunately not only has Brexit had an impact, but with Covid there's less demand at the moment for brokers to go to the effort of creating a new product.
Blue insurance / multi-trip had a product cleartotravel.com that covered non-standard cases, but they've temporarily suspended new quotes pending a review of new regulations as the product was offered via the UK.
I'll certainly enquire. Thank you so much for your time.Before Brexit we used to do a small bit of business with a UK firm called Pulse. ([broken link removed]) They specialise in arranging cover that's otherwise hard to place and they do arrange travel insurance.
I saw last month that they had acquired a majority stake in a Brussels firm and I understand that this was to allow them to trade freely in the EU again, as they did before Brexit. I honestly don't know if this means that they're offering travel insurance to Irish residents now, but it would probably be worth an enquiry.
Hi,Just a quick update.
Five 'No's so far. I'm still trying!
