Many thanks Crescent.
That is Direct Line.
I have metastatic prostate cancer - spread into the bones. But luckily I was put on to the Stampede Trial and received chemotherapy immediately after diagnosis. So six years down the road from diagnosis I am still leading a normal life and giving myself at least four years more to live.
My wife and I are skipping over to New York for Christmas and we need travel insurance. The Macmillan cancer nurse at Mayday Hospital in Croydon had told me that you can get travel insurance with pre-existing medical conditions specifically excluded.
The best quote I could get if I concealed my medical condition was £70. If I declared my condition, some companies simply declined to quote. Another quoted something ridiculous like £340 if they included my condition. InsuranceWith.com quoted a more reasonable £205.
But at last I found Crescent's message and tried Direct Line. I went through their online system and they quoted £171 for travellers without pre-existing conditions. But the system declined to quote when I said I had a condition.
However I phoned Direct Line and they were willing to exclude my condition from cover and quoted the same price as online. Success!
