Can you get travel insurance if you are over 85?

Making sure you have the right level of travel insurance for over 85 year olds is important. So, should the worst happen on holiday, it’s reassuring to know that you’re covered.

Whether you’re going on a relaxing cruise, or staying closer to home, we can cover any age, with no upper age limit on both our Single Trip and Annual policies.

Things can go wrong on your travels more often than you might have recognised, with 1 in 20 people claiming on their Annual Travel Insurance in 2018.*

While we can’t promise that nothing will go wrong on your holiday, we can help to straighten things out if it does.

Problems on holiday can vary from lost luggage, travel delays or a stolen passport, to needing to be flown home as a medical emergency. Going away without tailored travel insurance isn’t worth the risk.

With the right over 85s travel insurance, you can relax on holiday with peace of mind.

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.
