Does travel insurance cover epilepsy and seizures?

Yes. Travel insurance policies with Freedom can cover epilepsy and seizures as long as the condition’s declared during your application. Your policy may include emergency medical cover, cancellation and repatriation depending on the level of protection you choose.

Do I need to declare epilepsy if I haven’t had a seizure in years?

Yes. Even if you’re seizure-free, you’ll still need to declare epilepsy if you’ve received treatment, taken epilepsy medication or had any medical advice related to the condition in the last two years. This helps make sure your policy’s valid and protects you from any medical emergencies abroad.

Can I get travel insurance for a long trip if I have epilepsy?

Absolutely. We offer cover for holidays of all lengths including annual multi-trip policies and extended stays. Just share your medical history and travel plans and we’ll help you find the right level of epilepsy travel insurance cover for peace of mind throughout your trip.

Epilepsy Travel Insurance

At Freedom, we know that living with epilepsy or having a history of seizures can make holiday planning feel overwhelming. That’s why we offer specialist epilepsy travel insurance that gives you the confidence to enjoy your trip knowing that if something goes wrong, you’ll have the right support in place.

What Our Specialist Epilepsy Travel Insurance Includes

Standard policies don’t always give you the protection you need. As a specialist travel insurance provider, we offer cover tailored to your condition and medical history.

With Freedom’s epilepsy travel insurance cover you’ll get:

Emergency medical cover if you experience a seizure abroad
Emergency medical expenses and hospital treatment for epilepsy-related issues
Cover for your epilepsy medication including controlled drugs
Support in case of trip cancellation, unplanned hospital admissions or delays caused by your condition
Repatriation if you need to return home due to medical emergencies
Cover for baggage and personal belongings
Access to 24/7 worldwide medical support

Our policies are designed to reduce the worry around unexpected medical costs and help you get the right care wherever you are. Whether you’re on a beach holiday, a cruise or a city break, you can travel knowing you’re protected by a trusted travel insurance provider.

Tailored Cover for You

We understand that epilepsy affects everyone differently. Some people live with frequent or prolonged seizures while others manage their condition with epilepsy medication and experience few symptoms. Our team will ask a few relevant health questions to fully understand your needs and provide the right level of epilepsy cover.

Our pricing’s based on your current health status, not just your diagnosis. That means we’ll tailor your epilepsy travel insurance policy to make sure you’re only paying for the cover you actually need.

Our epilepsy travel insurance is ideal for:

People with controlled epilepsy or a recent epilepsy diagnosis
Travellers who’ve had a one-off seizure and want peace of mind
Individuals taking epilepsy medication including controlled drugs
Those with complex medical histories or multiple conditions
Families or carers travelling with someone who has epilepsy

No matter your travel plans, our specialist epilepsy travel insurance helps you go further with fewer worries.

How to Apply

Getting cover is quick, confidential and straightforward. You can apply online or by phone with one of our medically aware team members.

We’ll ask for:

Your destination and travel dates
Details of any pre-existing medical conditions including epilepsy
Information about anyone else named on the policy

As part of the process, you’ll complete a short medical screening.
