"I was unexpectedly diagnosed with an illness that was thankfully cured by surgery. I travel a lot and was unsure how this would affect travel insurance. I phoned Staysure and was given clear and helpful information, asked quite detailed health questions and was finally given a very competitive quote for an annual policy with the option to pay monthly. Very efficient service, great company to deal with."

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:

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.

Read our blog to find out more about what medical conditions you need to declare on your travel insurance.

If you’ve experienced 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 checks up 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.

Find out more about what affects the price of travel insurance on our blog.

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:

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 on our policies, you need to have had all doses of the COVID 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 vaccine you won’t be covered for COVID related claims.
