Elderly travel insurance for oap’s - i.e. Holiday insurance over 65, over 70s, over 75s or even over 80 years old is available as both single trip travel insurance e.g. for a cruise, and annual travel insurance cover. Many insurers are now aware that the elderly are more likely to have some sort of pre-existing medical condition so a number of travel insurance policies written today have a facilities within their medical declarations so that you can still take out a multi trip policy or single trip insurance knowing that should you have health problems during your travel you will be covered. However the premuim or perhaps the excess may be increased.
When you are over 65, holiday insurance is more expensive to buy and usually comes with higher excess charges. When you are over 75 for instance, you will find that the elderly cannot be covered by many of the established travel insurance companies! The good news is that nowadays there are several specialised companies that offer travel insurance for any age, providing the length of cover required is not too long. The travel insurance policy vary in price and depends on whether or not you have any existing medical conditions. If you are in good health then a two-week travel insurance for Europe would be as low as £15 including baggage and insurance premium tax . If you need travel insurance and have medical conditions then the exact cost of the policy will vary from policy to policy. But the great news is due to increased competition amongst insurers the price of holiday cover is the lowest it has ever been right now!
