Travel insurance

[Viki]

Im off skiing soon!! (i am the clumsiest person ever so i may be offline for a while afterwards whilst im in my full body cast )

Any idea on a good place to get travel insurance? Do i have to declare the pump, and the spare? does this bump up the cost?

Diabetes even makes throwing yourself down a snowy mountain complicated!!! 🙂

I have used a company called Columbus direct. If you use the below link you can get up to 20% off.

They have given me cover no problems including high altitude walking, and did ski cover for my o/h. You will definitely have to speak to them about your diabetes, I would advise mentioning the pump as you need to make sure it is covered.

Have fun skiing.

I used Medicover Insurance Services Ltd, tel 0870 735 3600, when I went to Australia. Their premium was under 25% of that quoted by DUK's recommended brokers!

I've used Snowcard for many mountain trips overseas, including skiing, over the years. But never asked about insulin pump. There are 4 options to cover various combinations of health, equipment and cancellations.

The best quote I got was from the Diabetes UK insurers. Annual multi trip insurance was pretty much the same price as single trip. Had no problems when I had a claim (for stolen wallet)
