Travel Insurance for Vertigo
Travelling with vertigo may require a little more preparation, but for many people it doesn’t mean putting holiday plans on hold. Vertigo is a condition that causes dizziness and a sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning. It affects approximately 1 in 3 people in the UK at some point in their lives. While symptoms can vary, many individuals successfully manage their condition through medication or ongoing care.
Travelling with a medical condition can take a little extra planning, but if your condition is stable there’s often no reason you can’t still enjoy a holiday abroad.
Having the right travel insurance in place can help to cover:
- Emergency medical treatment if your condition worsens during your trip
- Hospital stays and related medical expenses abroad
- Medical repatriation to the UK if further treatment is needed
- Cancellation costs if you have to cancel your trip for medical reasons
Travel advice for people with a medical 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
During the quote process, we will ask about any pre-existing medical conditions - if relevant, you may need to declare vertigo on your policy.
