Cancer travel insurance for all types of cancer, created by medical travel insurance experts.
If you’ve tried to get travel insurance since your cancer diagnosis, you may have found standard insurers unwilling to help – or only willing to cover you with your cancer excluded. That’s exactly the kind of gap we exist to fill.
At Freedom, we consider every application individually. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve had surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy, whether you’re currently mid-treatment, or whether you were given the all-clear years ago, we’ll look at your situation on its own merits and do our best to find cover that works for you.
That includes cover for cancer-related complications that a standard policy might ignore. If you have a stoma following bowel cancer surgery, for example, or if your treatment affects your ability to travel at short notice, a specialist policy means you won’t be left out of pocket if something goes wrong.
You can also add family members or travel companions to the same policy, so if your health affects the trip in any way, everyone’s protected, from cancellations to emergency medical treatment abroad.
We’ve been helping people with cancer travel confidently for over 20 years, and we work with a wide range of cancer types, including breast cancer, bowel cancer, prostate cancer, myeloma, and many more.
Your premium is based on your current health and individual circumstances — not a blanket assumption about what cancer means. Many of our customers are surprised to find cover is more affordable than they expected.
Whether you’re booking a break between treatment cycles, planning a holiday to celebrate finishing treatment, or simply want the reassurance of being properly covered for your next trip, we’re here to help.
You can get a quote online or by calling our UK team – it only takes a few minutes and everything you share with us is completely confidential.
You’ll tell us where you’re travelling and for how long, then declare your cancer and any other medical conditions for everyone on the policy. We’ll then take you through a short medical screening, a series of questions about your diagnosis, treatment history and current health, so we can find the most suitable options for you.
Once the screening is complete, we’ll talk you through the policies available, including the level of cover for your pre-existing conditions, cancellation, baggage, and more.
If you’d prefer to talk it through with someone first, our team is available Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm on 01223 446 914. There’s no obligation and no pressure.

Some of our most frequently asked questions.
Cancer travel insurance is a specialised type of travel insurance designed specifically for individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer. This type of insurance provides comprehensive coverage for medical expenses, trip cancellations and delays, ensuring that cancer patients can travel with peace of mind.
Unlike standard travel insurance, cancer travel insurance takes into account the unique medical needs and potential complications that may arise for cancer patients and those who have had cancer in the past. This means that if you need treatment while abroad or if your trip needs to be canceled due to your condition, you can rest assured that you’ll be covered. This specialised insurance is tailored to provide the necessary support and protection, allowing you to focus on enjoying your trip without worrying about potential medical issues.
It is crucial to have travel insurance that covers medical care when traveling abroad, especially for individuals with pre-existing conditions like cancer. Medical treatments for medical conditions in foreign countries can be significantly more expensive compared to the provisions available in the UK.
