Hiya,

My darling friend has booked me/my partner & my best mate/her partner a 5 day break to britney in a caravan, its all very exciting but im unsure about travel insurace?

Itinery is

June 2010 - 1 day in paris, travel down to britney over night for 5 days and then back up to the ferry to the UK.

Ive not had to get travel insurance since having RA it was difficult to get it with a heart condition. Any recomendations?

Thank you x

I've used Atlas insurance, they will cover medical stuff but I've never had to use them whilst away so I can't comment on that. But the prices are reasonable.

Hope that helps.

I use Intune,on line service, declare RA and it's all I need and reasonable.However, have not had to make a claim.

When in France you can use their version of the NHS for free or a small charge. You should still get travel insurance as well in case of emergencies like having to be brought home. Insurance is a lot cheaper if its just for Europe because it's just a sort of back-up to their NHS system which you will be expected to use.
We got a policy for the whole family for a year for around £30, just search online.
You DO need to tell them about any existing medical conditions as if you don't and they find out the whole policy is invalid.
Hope this makes sense and helps,
