Hello

Does anyone know of any travel insurers that cover pre-existing medical conditions?

Thanks :)                                                                                                                                                                             

Hmmm ... will route some out for you Adz ... had a problem finding decent insurance to cover Dan cos of his medical condition. Esp as he has to take toxic injections with him.   Will have a look and email any I have to you huni :) Hope that helps                                                                                                                                                                             

I just bought diving travel insurance and have several health problems myself (2 hernias, high BP, high cholesterol, etc).  Nothing serious i suppose.  But, they didn't put my premium up - said it's fine as long as a diving doctor checks me out before diving.

ANyone know of insurance costs for going to South Africa on a course....I haven't a clue its just for injury / death sort of thing for 5 weeks                                                                                                                                                                             

probably 30 quid.  Moneysupermaket website compares them all for u                                                                                                                                                                             

my mate just had a head on with a car in Spain not his fault,he paid good money for health insurance in case of a accident on the bike when he went to the hospital they said sorry but it only covers you up to a 125 cc (small print) you must stipulate the engine size of the bike you are using and the reg: on the policy it cost him £9000.00 for a private medical flight back to blighty    

phewwwww bldy hell  hope he ok :)

the car driver was on drugs wacky backy mark got a broken back two busted legs and feet his bike 1200 BMW was totalled doc said he should make a full recovery in about 8 months                                                                                                                                                                                 

sorry to hear that mate.  Send him regards from us all here.  Can you give us more info about the policy so people can avoid the same mistake?   Also, welcome to the site.  Let your mate know he can join the club for free when he's well, just tell him to contact me.                                                                                                                                                                             

Most normal policies will only cover you for up to 125's thats the way they work unfortunately, for specific big bike cover then you got to go for specialists which obviously costs more, only one Ive used is HC travel who can be found here www.hctravel.com sorry to hear about your mate though

What's your experience of HC Travel Aled?  I've been talking to them recently about partnering up.  Would be nice to know what you think of them.  Sound nice enough over the phone                                                                                                                                                                              

The bloke who runs it is called David Grist, he sorted my trip to US a few years ago, we had add ons from what the actual tour was and nothing was too much trouble for him. I did meet him at the bike show as well and he is a really nice bloke. Would have used him fo Oz but he didn't do anything in Western Oz. His prices do seem a bit high but you are getting a first class service off him with everything sorted, all you have to do is turn up and ride.                                                                                                                                                                              

Prices seem ok to me, I may go on a trip with them myself when I've got my hernia fixed.  I just need internet access wherever I go which is always the problem.
