Travel Insurance for Claustrophobia

Having claustrophobia shouldn’t stop you from exploring new places or enjoying a well-earned holiday. Claustrophobia is a type of anxiety disorder that involves an intense fear of confined or enclosed spaces, and in the UK it affects roughly 10% of people to some degree. For many individuals, symptoms can be managed with treatment or lifestyle adjustments.

Travelling with a medical condition can take a little extra planning, but if your condition is stable and you’ve spoken with your doctor, there’s often no reason you can’t still enjoy a holiday abroad.

Here’s why travel insurance matters when travelling with a medical condition:

• Emergency medical treatment abroad if your condition causes complications
• Hospital treatment and medical expenses during your trip
• Repatriation to the UK if you need to return home for further care
• Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition

Travel advice for people with a mental health condition

• Speak with your doctor before travelling if your condition has recently changed
• Keep medication and medical information with you at all times
• Avoid situations that may trigger symptoms where possible
• Take regular breaks if fatigue or dizziness affects you

When completing the medical declaration, it's important to read the questions carefully, and declare any mental health or anxiety disorders  where required.

We can provide travel insurance for travellers who have been diagnosed with a wide range of medical conditions. The type of cover available can depend on how severe the condition is and how it is managed. For that reason, it’s important to answer all medical declaration questions honestly and accurately.
