Travel insurance for over 50s

Travel insurance for over 50s gives you tailored cover that’s personalised to suit your medical and travel needs. There’s no upper age limit, as age shouldn’t be a barrier to you having a great holiday.

You can even add over 50s winter sports cover, so you can do the activities you enjoy.

Your over 50s travel insurance can cover most pre-existing medical conditions. That means you can be covered for emergency medical treatment abroad, which could otherwise be expensive.

By taking out one of our policies, you know you’ll have our support if something crops up.

You can choose from two types of travel insurance policy:

• Single Trip Travel Insurance: If you want to cover just one trip, then our Single Trip cover may be ideal for you.
• Annual Travel Insurance: This is great if you plan on going on several holidays a year.

You’ll need to let us know all about your pre-existing medical conditions when taking out travel insurance. Making sure your conditions are covered means you can travel with peace of mind, knowing potential claims will be valid. It's vital for a worry-free trip.

If you’ve consulted a GP or a medical professional regarding the menopause or any symptoms within the last two years, you should let us know so that we can include it on your travel insurance policy. This includes if you have received treatment, been prescribed medication such as HRT, or attended consultations, investigations or check-ups due to menopause.

As we age, the price of travel insurance increases due to the increased chance of making a medical claim. With medical bills abroad potentially reaching thousands of pounds, travel insurance is often seen as a must-have.

Your age shouldn’t be a barrier to having a great holiday and exploring the world, which is why there’s no upper age limits on any of our policies:

• Over 60s Travel Insurance
• Over 65s Travel Insurance
• Over 70s Travel Insurance
• Over 75s Travel Insurance
• Over 80s Travel Insurance
• Over 85s Travel Insurance

It’s always a good idea to take out travel insurance even if you have a GHIC. Your GHIC won’t cover the cost of emergency healthcare if you’re travelling outside the EU.

Your GHIC also won’t cover things like lost luggage or passports, delays and cancellations, so it’s important to have both for your holiday.

You can find out more about the GHIC and how it has replaced the EHIC in our blog.

It’s important to buy your travel insurance as soon as you book your holiday. This way you’ll be covered if you’re forced to cancel your trip.

You can make changes to your policy before your trip starts, subject to the T&Cs of your policy.

If you need to update your medical details or add any optional extras, please login to your My Staysure account. You might need to pay an extra premium.

Please note, we can’t reduce your cover in return for a partial refund. So, check you’re happy you’ve got the right level of cover when you take out your policy.

To be covered for COVID-19 on our policies, you need to have had all doses of the COVID-19 vaccine you’ve been offered, including any booster jabs.

You can also be covered if you can’t have the vaccine due to a medical exemption.

If you’ve refused any doses of the COVID-19 vaccine then you won’t be covered for COVID-19 related claims.
