Get a QuoteWhat is multiple sclerosis?
Multiple sclerosis is a neurological condition that affects the brain and spinal cord, interfering with the way messages travel along the nerves. It can affect people in different ways, depending on the severity of symptoms and how well it is managed. In the UK, around 130,000 people are living with the condition.
Travelling with multiple sclerosis 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.
Why it’s worth having travel insurance if you have multiple sclerosis:
- Emergency medical treatment and hospital care abroad
- Medical transport or repatriation back to the UK if required
- Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition
- 24-hour medical assistance while you are abroad
Travel advice for people with multiple sclerosis
- Keep cool in hot weather, as heat can make MS symptoms worse for a while
- If your medication needs to be kept cold, pack a cool bag or travel fridge
- Book airport assistance in advance if fatigue or mobility is an issue
- Plan rest breaks into each day to help manage fatigue
If you have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, you might need to declare it when applying for travel insurance. Read the medical declaration questions carefully so that everything about your multiple sclerosis is included.
Travel insurance is still available if you have multiple sclerosis. The cover offered depends on how the condition affects you and how well it is controlled, and clear, accurate answers in your medical declaration help make sure the right cover is arranged.
