Hi I'm wondering what is best travel insurance do any of you use? I do have a rewards account with my bank, but the fine print says pre exciting conditions may not be covered and will be a excess charge. 
Hmm who you using when going abroad.

    When I last travelled I used a comparison website to gather a few quotes and went for the best all round option taking into account mine and my partner's health conditions, is that something you've ever used before @Sandy_123? :)

    Going abroad - a dream!
    Neither myself or my wife are able to access any travel insurance - in fact they won't even quote. We have tried countless companies and brokers to no avail. Mind you I did get one quote a couple of years ago for a 2 day trip to France for the silly price of £1785 each and that excludes most of the big conditions for both of us! Thankfully we did all of our foreign travel when we were much younger so there is little else to see or experience.
    Best of luck finding something

    Go on to GoCompare Travel Insurance. It’ll ask about your health conditions during the application process and then compare multiple providers, I done my annual cover through them last month and it was only £75 (Admiral) although I have purchased single trip through them previously too.

    Edit- if you have TopCashback, go to the website above via them. I got 22% back!

    Yes it was a stupid figure.
    I only recently found out that there are many companies offering travel insurance but only 2 underwriters providing that cover!
