Enjoy your Portuguese getaway with the right travel insurance, including cover for pre-existing medical conditions.
Planning a holiday to sunny Portugal? Whether you’re soaking up the sun on the Algarve’s golden beaches, exploring the historic streets of Lisbon, or enjoying the famous port wine in Porto, it’s essential to have comprehensive travel insurance for Portugal. At Freedom Insurance, we ensure you’re fully protected so you can relax and enjoy your trip.
Although Portugal is a favourite destination for UK travellers, unexpected events can still happen. Medical emergencies, lost luggage, cancelled flights, or theft can quickly disrupt your holiday without the right Portugal travel insurance.
Portugal is part of the EU, so your GHIC (Global Health Insurance Card) offers limited state healthcare cover, but it won’t cover private treatment, repatriation costs, or non-medical emergencies. That’s where Freedom Insurance steps in to give you full peace of mind.
Portugal offers something for every kind of traveller. With Freedom Insurance by your side, you can enjoy the country’s most iconic destinations:
Lisbon – Wander through historic neighbourhoods and admire the Belém Tower
Porto – Taste famous port wine and explore the charming riverside
Algarve – Relax on stunning beaches and enjoy family-friendly resorts
Madeira & Azores – Experience lush landscapes, volcanic wonders, and vibrant culture
Serra da Estrela – Perfect for hiking, skiing, and outdoor adventures
No matter where your Portuguese journey takes you, we’ve got you covered.
At Freedom Insurance, we offer a range of flexible cover levels tailored to suit your trip – from short weekend breaks to extended stays:
Emergency medical expenses
Cover for pre-existing medical conditions
Trip cancellation and curtailment
Lost, stolen, or damaged baggage
Missed departure and travel disruption
Personal liability and legal expenses
Whether you’re exploring Lisbon, relaxing in the Algarve, or visiting Madeira, our policies are designed to give you complete peace of mind.
Don’t leave your Portugal holiday to chance. Get fast, reliable travel insurance today with Freedom Insurance.

Some of our most frequently asked questions.
Our travel insurance products are available to permanent UK residents who are registered with a GP in the UK. Some of our products can also cover residents of the Channel Islands or Isle of Man. You need to be fit to travel at the time of purchasing travel insurance cover.
We use a medical risk assessment tool to enable us to provide you with a quote. You will be asked a number of questions about your medical status. From the information provided we will base our quotes on your health status.
Yes. Our aim is to cover you fully, if you do not declare all of your pre-existing medical conditions then you will not be fully covered in the event of a claim and risk invalidating your insurance.
As we operate an on-going medical warranty, you will need to inform us of any health changes that occur between your quotation/purchase date and the date of travel. We may be required to ask additional questions to ensure your travel insurance is up to date and fully covering you for the trip.
We cover you from the time you start your trip right up until the day you return back to the UK, (except for cancellation cover which starts when you buy the policy and ends when you start your trip).
We accept all major debit and credit cards including American Express. You can make payment online during the customer quote journey, or by calling the Freedom team on 01223 454 290.
We’ll consider cover for people while they are receiving medical treatment including chemotherapy. We base all our quotes on individual circumstances. However, we cannot cover the actual cost of any on-going treatment that you know you will require during the trip, such as dialysis or cancer treatments.
