Can I Get Travel Insurance with a Pacemaker?
At Able2Travel, one of the most common questions we receive is: “Can I get travel insurance if I have a pacemaker?” The good news is that the answer is usually yes you can.
If you have a pacemaker, Able2Travel Travel Insurance can often provide you with the cover you need for holidays and trips, ensuring you don’t have to put your love of travel on hold.
In the UK, around 39,000 people have a pacemaker fitted each year—that’s nearly 760 people every week! Having a pacemaker shouldn’t be a barrier to enjoying your travel plans. With the right travel insurance, you can continue exploring the world without worry.
Why Honesty is Key for Travel Insurance
When applying for travel insurance, it's essential to fully disclose any pre-existing medical conditions, including your pacemaker.

Don’t forget your Travel Insurance
It's crucial not to overlook your travel insurance needs. Many insurers may struggle to provide adequate coverage if you have a pre-existing medical condition, like a pacemaker, which could lead to unexpected costs if something goes wrong during your trip. Fortunately, Able2Travel Travel Insurance is here to help.
Stay informed about the latest UK FCDO Travel Advice, especially in light of recent global events. As of now, the EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) is no longer valid, and has been replaced by the GHIC (Global Health Insurance Card) for UK residents traveling in EU countries. It's important to have a GHIC as it provides some healthcare coverage but does not replace comprehensive travel insurance. It’s essential to ensure you have the right insurance in place for complete peace of mind while traveling.
