Is Barclays good if you have a medical condition?
If you have a pre-existing medical condition, you'll need to contact Barclays to upgrade your policy, which may result in a higher premium.
Barclays works with a medical screening company called Verisk to ask customers about their medical conditions.
Barclays isn't a specialist provider for customers with pre-existing medical conditions - but this doesn't necessarily mean it won't be able to cover your medical condition at a reasonable price.
However, if you're struggling to obtain cover, check our guide on travel insurance if you have a medical condition.
How good is Barclays at handling claims?
The latest data from the Financial Conduct Authority shows that Aviva Insurance Ltd – which underwrites the Barclays policy – paid out 80%-85% of claims made on annual European policies in 2023. This is in line with the average of 82.2%.
Aviva paid out 80%-85% of claims made on annual worldwide policies – above the average of 78.9%.
Barclays travel insurance: how can I claim?
For medical emergencies, call 0800 158 2684 if in the UK or +44 (0)1603 604976 if overseas.
To make a claim while overseas, call +44 (0)1603 604964. To make a claim in the UK, call 0800 404 6856. You can also make a claim online.
Insurers will usually expect you to try recouping lost costs (such as deposits) elsewhere before claiming on your insurance - for example, checking with the travel provider whether you're entitled to a refund or can move a cancelled trip. However, you can still call the insurer to let it know if there's a chance you will need to claim.
You'll need your policy document when you call.
