Epilepsy Travel Insurance

Epilepsy shouldn’t stop you travelling the world, but it does mean you need the right cover in place for when you do.

At The Insurance Surgery, we’ve partnered with Staysure to help people find epilepsy travel insurance, even if they’ve struggled to get cover elsewhere.

What Is Epilepsy Travel Insurance?

Epilepsy travel insurance is a specialist policy designed for people living with epilepsy or a history of seizures. Standard travel insurance policies may:

Exclude epilepsy related claims
Increase premiums significantly
Decline cover altogether

A specialist policy ensures that your condition is fully declared and covered, giving you peace of mind while you travel.

Finding travel insurance with a medical condition can be frustrating, especially if you’ve been declined or quoted high premiums.

Staysure can help by comparing specialist insurers who cover epilepsy, matching you with the most suitable policy. Our expertise means you’re far more likely to find the right cover, first time.

What Does Epilepsy Travel Insurance Cover?

Emergency Medical Treatment.

Cover for treatment if you have a seizure whilst abroad.

Hospital Stays & Medication.

Including any treatment required as a result of your condition.

Repatriation.

Cover for returning you to the UK if medically necessary.

Trip Cancellation or Curtailment.

If you need to cancel or cut short your trip due to epilepsy.

Lost Medication.

Some policies may cover the replacement of essential medication.

Why Do I Need Specialist Cover?

If you travel without declaring epilepsy, your insurance could be invalid. This means you may not be covered for:

Medical emergencies related to seizures
Hospital treatment abroad
Repatriation to the UK
Trips cancelled due to your condition

Specialist epilepsy travel insurance ensures you’re properly protected if something happens whilst you’re away.

Do I Need Life Insurance?

Life insurance is not a one-size-fits-all product, but certain groups of people may benefit from having a policy in place.

Life Cover Terminology
