Pre-existing medical condition cover

Planning a trip shouldn’t be stressful and that includes buying travel insurance, but for those who suffer with pre-existing medical conditions this isn’t always the case. Many insurers won’t cover pre-existing medicals conditions and those that do often band people with medical conditions together, charging higher premiums across the board; this isn’t how we work at Columbus Direct.

We look at individual cases, taking you through carefully worded questions so we can make sure we offer you a quote tailored to your needs. Our system covers a variety of medical conditions, some of which come at no extra cost.

It’s easy for you to get a quick and comprehensive quote; you can either use our online medical screening which is integrated into the quote process or call us on 0800 953 3660 and speak to one of our team who’ll be happy to help.
