Specialised Travel Insurance for Kidney Failure
Managing a pre-existing medical condition such as kidney failure requires special considerations when going on holiday. If you live with kidney failure, small changes in your lifestyle can lead to unexpected medical needs, particularly when travelling abroad.
Having the right Travel Insurance to support your needs while managing kidney failure abroad is essential. It ensures that your medical condition doesn’t hold you back from enjoying your travels.
At Just Travel Cover, we compare policies from a panel of insurers to help find suitable Travel Insurance for individuals with pre-existing medical conditions, including kidney failure.
Whether you require emergency dialysis abroad or unforeseen medical treatment during your trip, having the right cover in place can provide peace of mind when you travel.
Finding the Right Travel Insurance for Kidney Failure
Unexpected medical issues can arise at any time, particularly when travelling. While you can’t predict when medical emergencies will occur, Travel Insurance ensures you have protection in place for a range of scenarios.
Medical costs abroad can be significantly higher than in the UK, especially if you require hospitalisation, emergency treatment or dialysis. Without the right Travel Insurance, these expenses can quickly add up.
Travel Insurance for kidney failure covers a range of unforeseen scenarios, including emergency medical expenses and related costs, subject to the terms and conditions of your policy.
Travel Insurance for Kidney Transplant Patients
For some people with kidney failure, a kidney transplant offers a new lease on life and can reduce the need for dialysis. If you’ve had a kidney transplant, travelling requires careful planning due to the unique health considerations involved. While a successful transplant may improve kidney function, it can increase the risk of infections and complications due to the use of immunosuppressant medications.
Standard Travel Insurance policies often exclude cover for transplant-related emergencies, which is why specialised Travel Insurance for kidney transplant patients is essential.
To ensure you’re protected, it’s important to arrange your Travel Insurance as soon as you book your holiday. Our policies can cover emergency medical treatment related to your transplant, emergency repatriation if you need to return home for further care, and cancellation cover if your health prevents you from travelling. At Just Travel Cover, our policies cover hundreds of pre-existing medical conditions, including kidney transplants, ensuring you’re protected once your policy is in place.
Compare Travel Insurance Policies for Kidney Failure
With a straightforward online quotation process, we work with a panel of insurers to help you compare policies for kidney failure.
During the medical screening process, you’ll be asked to provide information about your condition, such as the severity of your kidney failure, any treatment you’re undergoing and other relevant health details. This allows us to generate a side-by-side comparison of policies that match your needs, including differences in cover levels, premiums, and excesses.
Declaring all pre-existing medical conditions, including kidney failure, ensures we can find policies that provide the right protection. By comparing your options, you can confidently choose a policy that offers the best support for your health and travel plans.
Please note that some insurers may have restrictions for advanced conditions and terms surrounding routine dialysis whilst abroad. It’s important to declare all your medical details during the screening process.
Travel Insurance for Kidney Failure FAQs
Frequently asked questions about Travel Insurance with Kidney Failure cover.
Can I get Travel Insurance if I have kidney failure?
Yes, it’s possible to get Travel Insurance if you have kidney failure. You’ll need to declare your condition and find a provider that covers your condition. Standard insurance policies don’t cover pre-existing medical conditions, which is why having specialised Travel Insurance for kidney failure is important. At Just Travel Cover, we specialise in providing Travel Insurance for those with pre-existing medical conditions. Once you’ve completed the medical screening process, we’ll present to you a list of policies that cover kidney failure, allowing you to compare which Travel Insurance policy suits your needs.
What treatments or medical care does Travel Insurance for kidney failure cover?
Travel Insurance for kidney failure typically covers a range of medical needs while you’re abroad, including emergency treatment if your condition worsens, hospitalisation costs, and emergency dialysis sessions. It can also cover the replacement of lost or stolen prescription medication and emergency repatriation if you need to return home for medical reasons. If your condition suddenly prevents you from travelling, cancellation covers offers up to £12,500.

Do I need to declare my kidney failure condition when applying for Travel Insurance?

By fully disclosing your condition, even if you are managing it well, our travel experts can find the right policies suited to your needs. If you fail to disclose kidney failure or any other pre-existing medical condition on your Travel Insurance, it could affect your ability to make a claim on your policy.
