in 2024, Sarah, dealing with topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) after receiving steroids as treatment for her eczema, needed European annual multi-trip travel insurance for herself and her boyfriend. TSW, a condition that can cause worsening skin issues after stopping steroid creams, is currently poorly understood due to a lack of research and no clear diagnostic criteria yet. This made finding insurance especially critical for Sarah, as she was vulnerable to sudden flare-ups and needed coverage in case of medical emergencies abroad. Without it, she risked being stranded without proper care, facing potentially huge medical bills.

After numerous rejections from other insurers, Sarah was recommended to BIBA’s Find Insurance Service, which connected her to All Clear Travel Insurance. The annual travel policy cost £107 and Sarah was relieved by the smooth, hassle-free process and praised the professionalism of the customer service team. Securing this insurance was crucial for her peace of mind, allowing her to travel confidently despite her health challenges.

After being diagnosed with a rare and complex allergy shortly before her holiday, Sarah even called All Clear a few weeks later to add her EpiPen to the policy, which only cost an additional £1.20. She has been so happy on her holiday that she has already booked another trip while still covered by her policy—Porto, here she comes! She hopes that others facing similar skin issues can still travel and experience the joy of exploring new places. Sarah highly recommended both BIBA’s Find Insurance Service and All Clear for providing the coverage she desperately needed.
