once my wife got multipe health conditions not many would insure us.

My wife has multiple health conditions and its always hard to get travel insurance for her that isnt going to cost at least half as much as the holiday if insurers will even give you a quote.We have been using free spirit for many years now and they consistently have the best prices against what is provided and levels of cover we can choose between depending on how much the holiday cost and what we need for that particular holiday

I've used this before

I've used this before and it's great for people with pre-existing conditions. Very straightforward to apply for. So far I haven't needed to make a claim but that will be the acid test I suppose!

A pleasant experience.

I found using your website an easy experience. I enquired for insurance to cover for our UK holiday and was offered a policy to cover my requirements at a lower price that I had been quoted elsewhere.

Process for getting a quote nice and straightforward. Reasonable premium. It was easy to get through to a 'real' person on the phone for additional queries. That member of staff was clear and helpful.

The only issue was the annoying chat pop up that got in the way of the form. It popped up again several times after I closed it. When I did use to query something it gave a different response to the member of staff I spoke to.
