In the UK, there are approximately 12,700 new cases of brain tumours every year. This makes brain tumours the 9th most common cancer in the UK.¹
At Insurancewith we have an in-house medical screening system which offers a personalised approach to insurance coverage, which is great for people with cancer or other health conditions. By considering the specifics of someone’s condition, such as its severity and stage, it ensures that the coverage and premiums are more accurately tailored to your actual situation. This individualised approach could make it much accessible and fair for people who may have been overlooked by more generic, one-size-fits-all medical screening systems.

It can be confusing trying to understand travel insurance policies and ensure they are suitable for your circumstances. Insurancewith helps with this, by being able to offer a range of policies specifically designed by people who have experienced a cancer diagnosis themselves. Our medical screening team are also here to help you, so you can confidentially discuss your brain tumour diagnosis and treatment.
Getting travel insurance after a brain tumour diagnosis can be more challenging than securing a travel insurance policy with no existing medical conditions, but it is not impossible.
We work differently to the rest of the travel insurance market. Our founder, Fiona, found that often travel insurance policies for people with cancer, were either not available or were too expensive – often costing more than the holiday itself!
At Insurancewith, our team specifically assess your condition using a medical risk assessment tool called Protectif, which enables us to get a deeper understanding of your circumstances and, where possible, consider cover, even if you have recently been diagnosed with a brain tumour and are having ongoing treatments, including:
Although we ask a few more questions than other providers, getting the right kind of cover for your travels is important.
Some of our policy benefits include:
We will consider covering all cancers. Shown below are the most common types that we are asked to cover. However, if your particular cancer is not shown, don’t worry, because you can still get a quote by entering your type of cancer when prompted during the quote process and proceed from there.

Our common-sense approach to travel insurance cover has been recognised by industry peers and customers alike. We want to make it easier for more people to travel. Many of those we’ve helped talk about how they’d almost given up with the idea of getting away. We understand that getting away and knowing you’re protected should something unexpected occur has a real impact.
