Arthritis shouldn’t stop you from travelling – secure Travel Insurance for your trip today

If you suffer from arthritis, long flights and journeys can seem daunting. Arthritis can be unpredictable and flair-ups can arise unexpectedly. With some extra planning and purchasing Travel Insurance, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t travel abroad, provided your medical practitioner is in agreement with your travel plans.

Securing Travel Insurance for arthritis means you can travel with peace of mind. Whether you suffer from mild or severe arthritis symptoms, Travel Insurance gives access to a 24/7 medical assistance helpline and means you may be able to claim if you need to cancel your trip due to your pre-existing medical condition.

Why Do I Need Travel Insurance for Arthritis?

When you get Travel Insurance, you should always declare any pre-existing medical conditions you have, including arthritis, in the medical screening process. Even if your arthritis has improved lately, declaring it ensures the insurer has full and accurate information to enable them to assess the risk fully.

Dealing with arthritis when you’re abroad can be challenging, requiring more time for rest and avoiding activities that strain your joints. No one ever predicts a health concern to arise, but purchasing Travel Insurance can cover you for any unforeseen issues, such as unexpected hospital visits. When you’re abroad, these costs can quickly add up.

Our Travel Insurance experts can help you find the right arthritis Travel Insurance policy that is specifically tailored to your holiday and medical requirements. Once you’ve declared your medical history, age, holiday destination and duration, we’ll only show you the policies that meet your requirements to enable you to make an informed decision.

 

Find the Best Arthritis Travel Insurance Policy for You

Standard Travel Insurance doesn’t cover you for pre-existing medical conditions such as arthritis, so it’s important to declare this and choose a policy that provides adequate cover.

After you’ve answered a few questions about your holiday and medical needs, our Travel Insurance experts will present the policies that best match your specific requirements, ensuring you’re covered for all declared medical conditions, including arthritis.
