Specialist Travel Insurance with cover for Parkinson’s 

According to Parkinson’s UK, around 166,000 people are living with Parkinson’s in the UK. A neurological condition, Parkinson’s is caused when some of the nerve cells stop working, no longer producing enough of the chemical dopamine in the brain. As a progressive disease, symptoms can often worsen or deteriorate over time, causing significant changes to daily living. But that’s not to say you can’t still enjoy your travels, with specialist Travel Insurance for Parkinson’s to help you travel with confidence.

Travel Insurance for Parkinson’s FAQs

What does Travel Insurance for Parkinson’s cover?

Travel Insurance for Parkinson’s provides essential cover for unexpected medical and travel-related incidents that could occur during your time away, such as:

  • Emergency medical expenses – if you fall ill or become injured abroad and require emergency assistance
  • Treatment for pre-existing medical conditions – provided these are declared when taking out your policy initially, should you experience a flare-up in symptoms
  • Cancellation or curtailment – in the event you need to cancel or cut short your trip due to unforeseen circumstances, such as illness or bereavement
  • Repatriation – covering the costs of bringing you home in a medical emergency, where you cannot receive sufficient treatment abroad
  • Baggage cover – protecting your personal belongings should your luggage become lost or stolen during your trip

Nobody likes to think about what could go wrong when travelling. With specialist Travel Insurance for Parkinson’s, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your medical needs are covered and you are prepared for the unexpected.

Is Parkinson’s classed as a pre-existing medical condition?

Yes. Parkinson’s is considered a pre-existing medical condition and must be declared when taking out Travel Insurance. This is to ensure you don’t end up paying costly medical bills abroad should you fall ill and require treatment for your condition. It also protects the value of your holiday should your symptoms worsen suddenly, preventing you from travelling as planned.

I am awaiting a confirmed Parkinson’s diagnosis. Can I still get cover?

Yes. We can still help you find cover if you are waiting for a confirmed Parkinson’s diagnosis from your doctor. We may need to ask you a few questions regarding your current symptoms and any recent tests before we can match you with suitable insurers who can provide cover. For more information, head to our Travel Insurance for Undiagnosed Conditions page. Please note, we cannot cover undiagnosed conditions relating to the heart, lungs, or cancer.

What if my symptoms worsen and I can no longer travel?

That’s where cancellation cover comes in, protecting the value of your holiday should a change in your condition prevent you from travelling. We offer up to £12,500 cancellation cover per person as standard, or if you’ve booked a higher-value holiday such as a cruise, we offer up to £50,000 extra cover per person upon referral with our Top-up Cancellation Cover. Nobody likes to think about their travel plans being derailed. That’s why we always recommend making sure your cancellation more than covers the cost of your holiday, to make sure you don’t lose out financially.
