Most insurers automatically cover any dependent children or grandchildren travelling with you at no extra cost, as long as they are under the age of 18, not in full time employment and are listed on your policy.

Most insurers have a list of pre-existing medical conditions that are automatically covered for free like asthma, cataracts, some types of diabetes, hypertension which do not require an assessment or declaration form to be submitted. If you have a pre-existing medical condition not listed, you may be able to get cover for an additional fee. Depending upon the seriousness and recency of the condition, your application may require further assessment. See more about pre-existing conditions and medical assessments here.
Most insurers cover Type I and Type II diabetes if you were diagnosed more than 12 months ago - age restrictions often apply. Luckily for you - our diabetes guide details who-covers-what.
Most insurers cover some form of hypertention automatically, but conditions to do with your last reading and age limit might apply. Our handy table helps you compare which insurers cover hypertension.
Mid-range and Comprehensive policies provide cover for your items - but single item limits apply. Usually you will be covered for around $750 per item. If your hearing aids of false teeth (or any other high value item) are worth more than this, you'll need to tell your insurer so they can make sure you are properly insured.
It depends! You can certainly get cover. Some insurers cover you for cruising automatically, others require you to purchase their cruise pack in order to covered on land and sea.
