If you have any pre existing medical conditions Viva offers a simple way to declare these when you buy your policy. It’s important to inform us about your pre-existing medical conditions as if you don’t, and something happens that’s specifically related to them, then it is likely that any claims would be declined.
Your insurer is A+ Rated, meaning you do not have to worry about their security, financial stability and ethos. We think this is very important, and something that all travellers should check prior to buying a policy.
