- Annual multi-trip: for the frequent traveller, you will be protected for an unlimited amount trips, each up to 31 days across 12 months.
Is an allergy a pre-existing medical condition?
It can be a little confusing to know which allergies are worth declaring as pre-existing medical conditions on a travel insurance policy, as allergies can vary in their severity. Something as simple as nut allergy can vary greatly in degrees of seriousness, some people experiencing only minor discomfort, while others suffering life-threatening symptoms.
As a general rule of thumb you should declare an allergy on your travel insurance if you have received a diagnosis, a prescription, a change in treatment or your condition has not remained stable in the period leading up to your policy start date. The period you will need to consider is usually between 60-180 days prior to your policy start date (the exact period will vary from according to the insurer). If, during this time your allergies have remained stable and there have been no changes to your prescriptions or medication, there should be no need to declare your allergy as a pre-existing medical condition.
What if I choose not to declare my allergy?
We will always recommend our customers to declare all medical conditions, allergies included. Should you choose not to, you will be liable for any medical costs issued throughout your holiday.
Similarly, if you require treatment for an undeclared condition and you haven't informed us, your policy will be rendered invalid and you won't be able to submit a claim.
