About Medical Travel Compared
Types of cover
Policies can be compared for a single trip or as annual multi-trip cover. There are also options for cruises, for winter sports and skiing, and for older travellers. Each search focuses on insurers that specialise in covering medical conditions. Common ailments and more complex health needs both fall within its scope.
How the service works
You answer the questions online, and quotes appear within minutes, with no phone calls or paperwork. The site is independent and costs nothing to use. Once you pick a policy and pay, the insurer emails your documents, usually within minutes. Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express and PayPal are listed as payment methods.
Good to know
The Gibraltar Financial Services Commission authorises and regulates the business as an insurance intermediary. After you buy, the insurer looks after you, not the comparison site. Changes, cancellations and claims all go to the insurer, whose details are in your policy documents. Questions about the comparison itself can be emailed to [email protected].
