How much is travel insurance for over 80s?
Travel insurance can vary in price for a number of reasons. Age is one of the factors that can make a policy more expensive. But other things can impact the cost, such as:
Pre-existing medical conditions
Underlying medical conditions can drive up the cost of your travel insurance. That’s because there’s a higher chance you’ll need to make a claim.
Destination
Some countries, such as the USA, have an expensive healthcare system compared to the UK. This could increase the price of your insurance policy to cover this additional cost. If you’re travelling to a country with a higher risk of natural disasters, such as earthquakes or tornados, this might also impact the cost.
Trip length
The longer the trip, the more cover you’ll need, which can make your policy more expensive.
Level of cover
If you need more medical or cancellation cover, then it will cost more.

What type of travel insurance do I need?
A policy through PayingTooMuch will include cover for cancellations, medical emergencies, lost luggage, and more. Depending on how many holidays you’re planning, you can choose between single trip or an annual policy:
Single Trip
A single trip policy could offer you the best value for money if you’re only planning one holiday in a year. This will give you cover just for the days that you’re away for. But you’ll also be covered in case of cancellations if you take out your policy as soon as you book your holiday.
Annual Multi-Trip
Planning more than one holiday in a year? Annual multi-trip cover could save you the hassle of taking out a new policy every time you go abroad. They can also be better value for money than several single trip policies.
