- You can check online if this travel insurance covers new or existing medical conditions here. An extra fee may apply, or some conditions might not be covered.
- You can also discuss this over the phone by calling 0345 601 5219 (or Relay UK: 18001 0345 601 5219).

If Allianz Assistance are unable to offer you an upgrade to extend the level of cover you need, or your upgrade insurance premium is higher than you expected because you have medical conditions, help could still be available.
You may be able to obtain alternative travel insurance cover for pre-existing medical conditions by contacting one of the providers featured in the MoneyHelper Directory of specialist travel insurance providers for people with serious medical conditions.

Arranged overdrafts
Arranged overdrafts allow you to spend more money than you have in your account to an agreed limit. An overdraft is a form of borrowing and is repayable on demand. It can be useful for short term borrowing.
We'll run a full credit check to determine your overdraft limit. If you don't repay what you borrow, you could harm your credit score and borrowing capability.
An overdraft is a form of borrowing and is repayable on demand. It can be useful for short term borrowing.
There are two different types of overdraft:
- An arranged overdraft, which allows you to go overdrawn up to an agreed limit.
- An unarranged overdraft. This is when you spend more money than you have in your current account without already having an arranged overdraft, or when you exceed your current arranged overdraft limit
We charge interest on both types of overdraft. Going in to an unarranged overdraft limit can lead to payments being rejected.
To apply for or amend an overdraft on your account visit our Overdraft pages.
