Cover for mobility aids and prescription medication
Don’t worry if you need to use mobility aids, such as wheelchairs, mobility scooters, walking sticks and frames to help you get around because of your arthritis, we can cover those to.
Policies include cover for loss, theft and damage to your own mobility aids up to £2,500.
Remember to declare your arthritis and whether you use mobility aids.

Single trip insurance
As the name suggests, our single trip travel insurance is designed to cover you, including your arthritis for one specific trip, starting and finishing in the UK.
We can cover holidays up to 94 days in duration to any destination in the world (providing the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is not advising against non-essential travel).
Cruise insurance
Ocean and river cruises are covered as standard on all travel insurance policies from Total Travel Protection, and you don’t need to tell us that you are going on a cruise.
It is particularly important to declare your arthritis and any other existing medical conditions when you buy travel insurance for a cruise holiday, as emergency medical treatment onboard ship, or airlifting to hospital, would work out very expensive if you are not fully covered.
We can cover individual cruise holidays up to 94 days in duration; remember to list all the countries you will be visiting when you buy a policy.

Additional cover including gadget, natural catastrophe and waiting list cover can be selected during the quote process.

Arthritis Travel Insurance FAQ
What types of arthritis can you cover?
We can cover all types of arthritis up to a high level of severity, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, inflammatory arthritis, septic arthritis, and juvenile arthritis.
Why do I need to declare my arthritis when I buy travel insurance?
It is important to declare arthritis and any other medical conditions you may have when you buy travel insurance so that you will have appropriate cover for emergency medical treatment abroad if you need it, as well as cancellation if you become unwell before your holiday.
If you become ill due to a pre-existing medical condition, such as arthritis, that you had not declared on your policy, you would not be covered by your travel insurance and your claim could be declined or only partially paid.
How do I declare my arthritis?
When you get a travel insurance quotation, whether online or by phone, you will be given the opportunity to declare all your pre-existing medical conditions, including arthritis.
You will need to tell us what type of arthritis you have and then answer a short series of multiple-choice questions, such as whether you have had any joints replaced or resurfaced and whether you need to use mobility aids.
It will only take a few minutes and can be done online or by phone.
Do I have to declare all my pre-existing medical conditions?
Yes, it is important that if you have other medical conditions, in addition to your arthritis, that you declare all them when you buy travel insurance.
We need to get a full picture of your medical history to give you an accurate quotation and provide travel insurance cover for your holiday.
If you declare some medical conditions and not others, you could find you are not fully covered by your medical travel insurance if you need to make a claim for emergency medical expenses or cancellation. For instance, if your claim was related to a pre-existing medical condition which you had not declared on your policy, your claim could be declined or not paid in full.
