Compare travel insurance for people aged over 60

You might find that your travel policy gets more expensive each year. Age is one of the things that insurers will look at when working out the cost of your insurance. 

But there are a few other areas that can affect the cost of your policy, so it’s worth thinking about these before taking out your travel insurance. 

If you’ve had a medical condition in the last two years, then tell us about this when you’re getting a travel insurance quote. This way, we’ll only show you quotes that will include cover for any conditions you have. This includes if you’ve had: 

• Symptoms 
• Treatment 
• Investigations, consultations or appointments 

There are a few conditions you’ll need to tell us about if you’ve ever been treated for them, even if it was a long time ago: 

• High blood pressure, raised cholesterol, blood clots, aneurysm or any circulatory disease 
• Heart attack, angina, chest pain(s) or any other heart condition 
• Any form of stroke, transient ischemic attack (mini-stroke) or brain haemorrhage 

So you’ll only be shown travel insurance quotes for your medical conditions that will suit your needs. This means you can have peace of mind when you’re jetting off on your next adventure. 

You can add cruise cover to your travel insurance policy when you take out your quote. So you’ll be able to compare cruise-specific cover options for things like cabin confinement, unused excursions and medical treatment onboard. 

If you’re comparing single trip policies, then you’ll need to tell us every country that you’re stopping at, even if you don’t plan on getting off the ship. For annual multi-trip policies, you don’t need to tell us where you’re going. But you’ll need to make sure that you choose the region that includes all countries you’re planning to stop at, so you get the right level of cover.
