Why do over 65s need travel insurance?

Over 65 travel insurance helps you to enjoy your travels with peace of mind. After all, travelling is a great way to enjoy your retirement.

The right travel insurance should be packed in your suitcase with confidence. So if the worst happens when you’re away you have our support to get you back on your feet.

From flight delays or lost luggage to a medical emergency, having proper travel insurance for over 65s can serve as a helping hand when you need it most.

Things can go wrong on holiday more often than you may have realised, with 1 in 20 people claiming on their Annual Travel Insurance in 2018.*

If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, it’s important they’re declared on your travel insurance. Without declaring your medical history you won’t be properly covered in the event of a claim. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

With the right over 65 travel insurance, you can travel with the confidence that if a problem does crop up, you have our support.

Isn’t it worth doing right?

Should I declare my pre-existing medical conditions on my travel insurance?

Regardless of your age, having proper travel insurance in place is essential when going on holiday.

You can declare your medical condition through our online medical screening process, which is a straightforward set of questions for us to understand how your medical condition affects you. Or, if you prefer, you can complete the medical screening over the phone.

It’s important that all pre-existing conditions are declared on your medical travel insurance policy. This will avoid large medical bills if you need treatment in another country. Failure to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions may affect the validity of your policy should you need to claim.

Whether that change is updating us with your medical conditions or adding optional extras, if we can help, we will.

What we aren’t able to do is reduce coverage in return for a partial refund so please do check that you’re happy with the level of cover when you buy your policy.
