Travel Insurance for Hypertension
Travel with peace of mind knowing that you are fully covered for hypertension or high blood pressure by adding extra cover for your pre-existing medical condition to any of our Single Trip, Annual Multi Trip or Backpacker policies.
To add the extra medical cover simply complete the quick and easy medical screening process after getting your initial quote and answer the simple questions on your condition. You will then be quoted a price to add the additional cover to your policy and taken to the final payment screen.
* If you are over 74, please see our Over 74s travel insurance page.
Experts' Top Tip - It's worthwhile having your medical history on hand as our online medical screening process may ask you some questions about any medication you may be taking.
Customise your policy
You have the choice of 4 cover levels and 4 areas of cover so that you only pay for the cover you need. By completing our online medical screening process you will receive a tailor made quote specifically for high blood pressure, which can be added to your policy easily.
All travel insurance policies include:
- Medical Expenses cover ranging from £2.5million to £10 million
- Hospital Benefit cover ranging from £300 to £1,200 per day
- Personal Accident cover ranging from £7,500 to £30,000
Don't want to add extra protection for high blood pressure?
If you have a medical condition we strongly advise that you declare it. However, if you do not wish to add the extra cover, you can choose to exclude cover for high blood pressure from your policy after you have completed the easy online medical screening process.

Cheap. But not nasty!
I required travel insurance for my 13 year old daughters who are travelling unaccompanied to the USA later this year. Essential was one of the few companies I found that caters for that market and at a surprising low price. The cover is more than adequate although it has to be said that figures for the excess waivers were not so readily traceable. But got that I'd award it five stars. If we have to make a claim this review and the raring could go down as well as up.
