What is travel insurance for over 70s?

Travel insurance for over 70s offers the same protection as standard travel insurance, but with extra consideration for the things that matter more as you get older. 

 

At Staysure, we don’t have upper age limits. Our cover flexes to fit you. Whether you’re planning a once-in-a-lifetime cruise or heading back to your holiday home, it’s there when things don’t quite go to plan. 

 

That could mean emergency medical care abroad, having to cancel your trip for health reasons, or needing to come home earlier than planned. And while we hope none of that happens, we’re here 24/7 if it does. 

Travelling with medical conditions?

Health concerns don’t stop when your holiday starts. That’s why we specialise in travel insurance for medical conditions.  

 

We can often include long-term conditions and recent diagnoses in your over 70s policy. Just make sure they’re declared when you get your quote. 

 

We’ll ask a few straightforward questions about your medical history. This includes any treatment, tests, medication, or hospital visits in the last two years. We’ll also ask if you’ve ever had a heart condition or circulation problem, even if it was years ago. 

 

Telling us about your health helps us build a policy that works for you, so you’re properly protected if something unexpected happens on your trip. 

 

Scenarios we regularly cover

We regularly cover conditions that are more common in later life, including:

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • cancer (including if you're in remission)

 

 

If your condition isn’t listed here, don’t worry – we might still be able to help. Take a look at our medical travel insurance page to see if it’s listed there, or speak to a member of our friendly team today.

Many over 70s embrace adventure like never before, from cruises to long-stay getaways. What our expert says…

"<p>As we get older, though, the chances of needing medical care while away may increase, so having good travel insurance lets you make the most of your travels. And of course, be sure to speak to your doctor first if you&rsquo;re travelling with medical conditions.&nbsp;</p> "

We know that price matters – especially when you’re travelling more often, or dealing with medical conditions. What our expert says…

"<p>Travel insurance does tend to cost more in your 70s, but that&rsquo;s not because it&rsquo;s a &lsquo;senior&rsquo; product. It&rsquo;s because insurers look at risk &ndash; and older travellers are more likely to make a claim. The good news is, those claims are exactly what you&rsquo;re covered for.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Hospital stays, emergency care, or getting you home safely after a fall &ndash; these are the kinds of costs that can run into thousands of pounds. So, while the policy might cost more now than it did 10 years ago, it&rsquo;s there to protect your savings if something goes wrong.</p> "
