Can you get travel insurance if you are over 80?

Finding tailored travel insurance that covers you properly when you’re over 80 years old can feel difficult. But it really needn’t be.

We don’t think there should be an upper age limit on your happiness and travel plans. So, we help you to travel with peace of mind by having no upper age limit on our policies.

After all, you deserve to enjoy your holiday knowing that if the worst happens, you’re well supported.

The unexpected can happen on holiday more often than you might have realised, with 1 in 20 people claiming on their Annual Travel Insurance in 2018.*

From a medical emergency needing to be flown home by air ambulance, to lost luggage or a stolen passport, travelling without proper travel insurance isn’t worth the risk.

It’s always better to be safe than sorry.

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 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.

Travel insurance for over 80s is tailored travel insurance that is personalised to suit your medical and travel needs. With no upper age limit, we don’t see age as a barrier for you being able to relax on holiday with peace of mind.

Over 80s travel insurance covers pre-existing medical conditions. Medical treatment abroad can be costly, and with 1 in 20 people claiming on their travel insurance in 2018*, things go wrong on holiday more often than you might have realised.

Off on a winter sports trip? You can tailor your travel insurance for 80s to cover the activities you enjoy on holiday. That way? You can travel knowing should a mishap crop up, you’ll have our support.

We offer two types of travel insurance when you’re over 80, to suit you and your family’s travel plans:

Single Trip Travel Insurance: If you’re going on a stand alone trip, then our Single Trip cover may be the perfect option for you. Once your holiday is over, your cover will stop too. For single trips, you can stay for up to 104 days at a time, with no upper age limit.

Annual Travel Insurance is great if you’re planning on going on more than one holiday a year. Annual Multi-Trip Travel Insurance policies cover your travel plans for up to 35 days per trip, 183 days in total. There is no upper age limit on our Annual Multi-Trip policies.

You should be covered to visit most destinations across the globe, as long as the country you’ve chosen is safe to visit.

To check your destination is safe to visit, take a look at the FCDO’s travel advice. The FCDO’s advice may change, so make sure you check it’s safe to travel before you set off.

If the FCDO, World Health Organisation or local authorities have advised against all or all but essential travel to your destination, it wouldn’t be safe for you to travel.

If you travelled against the FCDO’s advice, your policy would become invalid and wouldn’t cover you if you needed to claim. Even if advice changes while you’re on holiday, you won’t be covered if your destination was listed as unsafe when you travelled.
