Whether you’re a cancer patient or not, taking out travel insurance before a trip abroad is important. While we have state-funded medical care in the UK, many countries don’t – and even if they do, you are unlikely to be entitled to use them if you aren’t a resident or citizen. Needing medical care in a foreign country can cost you an awful lot of money.
You should always look into insurance before you book your trip as it could be a deciding factor in where you choose to go – but we know it can be hard and frustrating. To help, we sourced ideas and information from travel insurance experts and the Shine community to bring you our Real Life Guide to Travel Insurance. We know travel insurance is one of the most talked-about topics in our online forums so we hope this helps you find out what you need to.
