Specialist lung cancer travel insurance cover
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in the UK - around 47,000 people are diagnosed with it each year. That’s why we want to make sure anyone planning a holiday with this health condition can still get all the cover they need.
We know that for many people living with this condition, going on holiday takes the day-to-day pressure off and helps you relax.
So if you’re planning a getaway, we want you to be able to focus on the important things, like relaxing and enjoying your trip. But standard travel insurance policies might not cover you if the unexpected happens, that’s why we help you find the best deal before you go.
We’ve teamed up with specialist travel insurance providers to find the right cover for you and your needs - at the right price.
