My parents are looking to get travel insurance, they are both over 65 but both have pre existing medical conditions and also one is on a waiting list ( as with half the country!! ).

Anyone know of any compaines that will cover people with pre existing medical conditions?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think anyone will quote with a pre existing medical conditions will get cover which includes health. Cover for baggage and cancellation should be available.

If your parents are VHI members they will be able to purchase VHI Travel Insurance, which covers any pre-existing conditions.

My advice to anybody with serious medical situations is to travel within EU only as EHIC card will cover any medical situation.
