travel insurance: over 65’s & illness cover

Travel insurance is crucial for over 65s – if anything goes wrong while you’re away then medical expenses could be overwhelming. However, prices inevitably go up when you reach a certain age so how do you find the right policy at the right price?

 

Compare over 65s travel insurance

The fastest way to find a policy that works for you is to use a price comparison site to see which travel insurance options are the cheapest.

 

Declare your pre-existing medical conditions

Those aged over 65 are statistically more likely to have a pre-existing medical condition. This can make buying a policy more expensive as a result. However, it’s much less expensive than being abroad and without any insurance cover for medical treatment. It’s important to declare every condition that you have and report any hospitalisation or inpatient treatment over the past 12 months.

 

Single trip or annual cover?

If you’re planning to travel more than twice a year then annual cover makes sense and can be far cheaper overall for those with a number of pre-existing medical conditions to declare.
