What makes goodtogoinsurance.com different to standard travel insurance policies?

Travel insurance for diabetes - Medical Screening

Diabetic travellers are sometimes excluded by standard travel insurers so that they can keep their premiums low. Goodtogoinsurance.com is different - we can provide diabetes travel insurance for diabetics up to a high level of severity.

If you suffer from diabetes, you can go through our simple medical screening process to help you get appropriate travel insurance cover for your needs.

Cover your travelling companions on the same policy

Your travel companions can be covered on the same diabetes travel insurance policy, whether they have diabetes or not.

Why declare your diabetes when you buy travel insurance?

In order to get appropriate diabetes travel insurance that will cover the cost of incidents arising as a result of your diabetes, you must declare your diabetes when you buy a travel insurance policy.

By declaring your condition, we will be able to provide appropriate travel insurance cover for your diabetes. If you do not declare that you have diabetes, then you may find that you are not covered if you require medical treatment abroad, or need to cancel your holiday as a result of your diabetes. It is always best to ensure that you have appropriate diabetes travel insurance cover for your diabetes as medical costs abroad can easily run into thousands of pounds.
