Travel Insurance for Autism/ADHD
Travelling with Autism and/or ADHD
Autism and ADHD are neurodevelopmental conditions, with an estimate 700,000 and 2.6 million people respectively in the UK with the conditions. They can have a big impact on how you see and interact with the world, while also affecting the caregivers and family members involved in providing necessary support. Having a condition like autism or ADHD can bring specific, but it doesn’t have to prevent you from fulfilling your travel goals. It may just mean doing a little more planning.
Securing Travel Insurance with cover for autism or ADHD helps you travel with confidence, knowing your needs are covered. It also offers financial protection in the event your travels don’t go quite as planned, whether due to a medical emergency, travel delays or disruptions, cancellation, medical repatriation, or something else.
Declaring Autism or ADHD on Travel Insurance at Just Travel Cover
Autism and ADHD are considered by most insurers as pre-existing medical conditions, meaning you’ll need to declare these on your Travel Insurance if they apply. Declaring autism or ADHD on your Travel Insurance policy ensures you get the cover you need, protecting you when making claims for unexpected events later on.
At Just Travel Cover, we offer no upper-age limit policies for hundreds of pre-existing medical conditions, including autism and ADHD. We keep things simple with our medical screening process, asking you a few questions about your condition and any other related conditions. We’ll then present you with a list of insurers, separated into bronze, silver, and gold to help you compare policies and choose the right one for you.

Travel Insurance for Autism/ADHD FAQs
Can I apply for Travel Insurance for an autistic child?
Yes. You can apply for Travel Insurance on the behalf of an autistic child. If the child is a member of your family, you can include them under the same Travel Insurance policy to make things easier. Make sure to declare all pre-existing medical conditions for each member under your policy when getting a quote to help us find an insurer who can meet all of your needs.
Why do I need to declare autism or ADHD on my Travel Insurance?
Declaring autism or ADHD on your Travel Insurance is important to make sure you choose a policy that will cater to your needs, should you encounter any unexpected travel events. These could be medical emergencies or treatments relating to your condition, cancellation, repatriation, or curtailment (having to cut your trip short). Such instances can be costly, and having the right Travel Insurance in place ensures you don’t foot the bill should your plans change.
What does Travel Insurance for autism or ADHD cover?
Travel Insurance for autism or ADHD covers:
- Medical expenses – including any treatments or sensory/assistive equipment you may need to help manage your symptoms.
- Emergency medical expenses – should you fall ill or become injured abroad.
- Cancellation or curtailment – if a change in your medical status, or another unexpected circumstance means you need to cancel or cut short your trip.
- Repatriation – if, in a medical emergency, it is deemed necessary for you to return home to receive sufficient treatment.
- Baggage cover – if your luggage gets lost or stolen during your holiday.
With Travel Insurance for autism or ADHD, you can travel with peace of mind knowing you have the right cover in place in the event of the unexpected.
What if I am waiting for a confirmed autism or ADHD diagnosis?
That’s fine. If you’re still awaiting an official diagnosis for autism or ADHD, or another condition, just let us know. We can then look into finding you an insurer who may still be able to cover your needs in the meantime until you receive a proper diagnosis. Please note we cannot provide cover for undiagnosed conditions relating to the heart, lungs, breathing, or cancer.
