Travel insurance for pensioners
As we get older, it becomes more important to take out comprehensive medical travel insurance to suit our needs when planning to travel abroad.
As a pensioner, you may still want to travel to the places you love or explore new places for the first time. We believe everyone deserves the right to travel no matter what their age is.
Some insurance providers won’t offer insurance for pensioners, but we have no age limits on our AllClear Gold and AllClear Gold Plus policies.
Travelling uninsured could mean large bills should you need medical treatment while abroad so the risk is just not worth taking.

Travel insurance for pensioners with medical conditions
It’s inevitable that with age come more medical conditions. These can also make getting travel insurance more difficult and some companies won’t offer cover at all.
AllClear is the specialist in medical travel insurance and has covered 1,300 medical conditions since we started out in 2000. We are often able to cover you if you’ve had difficulty elsewhere.

Factors that can affect the cost of your travel insurance policy
There are many factors which determine the cost of your travel insurance policy.
Any medical conditions you have, your age, your chosen destination and the trip duration are all analysed through our competitive rate for risk programme when your premium is calculated. Your final premium will be based on these.
Destination
For example, your destination will be taken into account because of the differing health care systems in place across different countries. Some countries will place tourists in private hospitals resulting in much higher costs, in this case, having travel insurance can reduce your risk of having to pay out thousands, should you need medical attention while abroad.
Trip duration
Your trip duration is taken into account when you’re obtaining your quote because the longer you’re travelling for the more likely you are to make a claim.
Age and medical conditions
As we get older, we inevitably get more medical conditions and ailments we may not have had when we were younger. To ensure you get the level of cover you need, these factors are taken into consideration. If you fail to declare any medical conditions, you may not be covered for them should you need to make a claim. This could leave you with extortionate bills to pay or mean that you lose out on your holiday should you need to cancel because of your medical conditions.
What AllClear can offer
AllClear believes everyone deserves the right to travel and can offer travel insurance for pensioners. Whether you have medical conditions or have simply been refused cover elsewhere due to your age, AllClear could help you get the travel cover to suit your needs.
We offer single trip policies or annual multi-trip policies. If you know you’re only travelling once within 12 months, a single trip travel insurance policy could be the more cost-effective option. If you have 2 or more trips planned or think you’re likely to be travelling again within 12 months, an annual multi-trip policy could save you money and time.
