Travellers over a certain age have particular cover needs for their holiday. This type of cover offers protection against unexpected medical expenses while you’re away and cancellation costs before you go.
It is common to have multiple or complex health conditions as we get older. Only around 4 in 10 (44%) of those under 50 have numerous pre-existing medical conditions.
In comparison, at least 1 in 2 (59%) of those over 653. Despite how common it is for older travellers to have a medical condition, it can be challenging to find comprehensive Travel Insurance to cover you.
At AllClear, we believe that age shouldn’t limit your travel opportunities. No one likes to think of the possibility of something going wrong on their holiday.
However, should the worst go wrong while you’re away, with AllClear’s senior citizen Travel Insurance, you’ll have our support.
Despite being at high risk with complex medical conditions, AllClear, as a Specialist Medical Travel Insurance provider, was able to help avid traveller Chris Smith enjoy many adventurous holidays throughout his 70s. He didn’t let his age or heart problems stop his love of travel. Discover his story for inspiration on your next trip.
When choosing your policy, you must declare your medical conditions via our medical screening process. This can be done online or over the phone. Why is it so important to declare all pre-existing conditions? Failure to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions may affect the validity of your policy should you need to claim. Here are a few examples of pre-existing medical conditions we cover.

A Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) is helpful for travellers of all ages when taking a trip to Europe. Money-saving expert Martin Lewis urges travellers to ensure they’ve got a valid GHIC before travelling. He includes checking the validation of your GHIC card as one of his 10 important checks before heading to the airport.
However, the scheme only gives you access to the default state healthcare system within a given country. Therefore it is not a substitute for Travel Insurance. To protect yourself and your trip, you’ll need comprehensive Senior Travel Insurance.
