My husband has Parkinson with Lewey Bodies, and I was thinking of going abroad for which may be our last holiday, and wondered if anyone could recommend a travel insurance company, and if so was it very expensive

Hello Hal.53 … Depends on your age, what medical conditions you want covering & where you are going.
I’d google travel insurance companies & talk to them. Also look at the reviews they get.
Best of luck.

I totally understand your concern about finding the right travel insurance, especially given your husband’s condition. As for the cost, it can vary, but it’s worth looking into for peace of mind.
Also, if you’re considering destinations, have you ever thought about Trinidad and Tobago? I’ve heard it’s an incredible place with so much to offer in terms of relaxation and exploration. You might want to check out some Trinidad and Tobago things to do. I think it could make for an unforgettable holiday experience!
I can thourghly recommend Nationwide Building Society. We were in the States and my wife ( with PD) had to be admitted to hospital for a few hours. With an ambulance and a few tests the bill came to just short of $ 9000 !!! The account costs us £13.00 month including AA Cover, the support from NW received was excellent. Because of extra ailments to both of us there was an uplift amount but the cover was all family members and worldwide.
I went through something similar with my own family, and finding the right travel insurance was a bit daunting. I ended up going with a company that specialized in travel insurance for pre-existing conditions. It wasn’t as expensive as I feared, and it gave us peace of mind.
We use the Post Office for travel insurance, not as bad as feared. Also, if you use TopCashback you can claim some money back - we got £67 in cash back which went straight in my ISA 
We also flew business class for extra comfort, which made a big difference in how relaxed the trip was. I’d recommend reaching out to insurance providers that cater to specific medical needs and asking for quotes. They might have more tailored options for you.
Finding travel insurance can be tricky, especially when dealing with medical conditions like Parkinson’s with Lewy Bodies. I recommend checking out companies like AllClear and Saga, which specialize in insurance for pre-existing-condition travelers. They can be pricey, but it’s worth getting a few quotes to compare options. Make sure to read the fine print so you know exactly what’s covered.
I’ve also found that many places in the U.S. are accommodating if international travel seems daunting. I had a lovely experience at a resort in Branson, Missouri. They offered excellent facilities and activities, making relaxing and enjoying the surroundings easy. You can check it out here: Branson Hotels & Resorts | Westgate Resorts in Branson
We’re using AllClear on our trip in October, they are part of the same group as Insureandgo which we’ve used for years
It’s a good idea to research different companies, read their reviews, and even give them a call to discuss your specific needs
