Interesting what you said about the C&CC. I would have thought their Carefree package was quite popular. I had heard they had made the staff dealing with overseas travel redundant during the pandemic. Will they start it up again?

I think the medical questions with RP are fine if you can answer no to everything. Where it falls down is with more complex conditions like diabetes where the level of medication varies depending on blood sugar levels. Its the same with people who take blood thinners that require regular testing. They are happy for you to take a ton of blood pressure tablets providing the dose as not changed in the past 2/4 weeks but are less happy if you have to vary the dose of anything. They are happy to suggest alternative insurers but the whole point of RP is that it is an all in one policy. We tried to go abroad in 2017 but because of the refusal of RP to accept us we decided against and a have not been abroad since!

I found that with a pre existing condition the surcharge to cover me was more expensive than that wanted by Nationwide's insurers, who also provide breakdown cover in Europe and is an annual contract.

Good that you found them competitive AD. Was that a one-off contract or does it include your trip in September as well?
