Over 75s Travel Insurance for medical conditions

More than 6 in 10 (61%³) of those we surveyed, aged 71-75, have two or more medical conditions. However, over 75 Travel Insurance with medical conditions can be difficult to find. As a specialist provider, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to travel. We offer Travel Insurance over 75s that can be tailored to suit you and your medical needs.

What’s a pre-existing medical condition?

A pre-existing medical condition is any diagnosis you’ve had in the last five years or any condition you have taken medication for. It’s important to declare all pre-existing medical conditions before you travel. This will ensure you have the right level of cover based on your circumstances. Some examples of pre-existing medical conditions we’ve covered are:

How much does Travel Insurance for over 75s cost?

The cost of Travel Insurance increases as you age, because older travellers are more likely to need assistance or make a claim. But what else affects the premium of your policy?

Destination: Different countries have different medical expenses and can have a higher risk, so your destination can affect the price of your policy. Your medical cover will need to be sufficient for your chosen destination.
Trip length: If you’re taking a single trip, the length of your holiday will impact the cost of your cover. A longer trip means there is a great risk of a claim. If you’re taking multiple trips, the length of your getaway has less of an impact.
Extras: You can choose to include extra cover for specific events for an additional premium, whether it’s Cruise Travel Insurance or extended cancellation cover.
Medial conditions: Because Over 75s travel insurance includes medical cover, you may need to pay more to cover your pre existing medical conditions.

What does Travel Insurance for the over 75s cover?

What’s covered:
- Health problems: Insurance for over 75s includes emergency medical cover and costs for any existing medical condition or medication.

- Cancellation cover: Protect yourself if you have to cancel due to an unforeseen emergency or reasons beyond your control.

- Airline Strikes: You will need to contact the airline directly in the event of a strike.

Types of policies you can get?

Single trip policies: You can get this type of insurance for over 75s if you’re only taking an individual trip but still want comprehensive cover. It includes emergency medical cover, pre existing medical conditions and has no upper age limit.
Annual policy: Enjoy unlimited trips over a year in your chosen region, with all the cover of a standard policy. There’s no trip limits so this type of cover is perfect for senior travellers who love to be covered for multiple adventures.
Cruise Travel Insurance: If your travel plans include a cruise, you’ll need to take out Cruise cover to make sure you have the right cover. Cruise cover includes costs for medical treatment while you travel abroad as well as specific instances such as cabin confinement or missed excursions.

Travel Insurance for a cruise

Cruising at any age is an exciting way to see the world. From riverboat cruises to luxury international cruises, you’re sure to ensure a holiday of a lifetime. However, the cover offered by a standard over 75 Travel Insurance policy won’t protect you against cruise specific issues.

AllClear Travel Insurance for a cruise offers you all the benefits included with a standard policy plus additional cruise specific benefits that are tailored for specific problems that may arise on a cruise holiday, including;

Missed port departure
Cabin confinement
Itinerary change
Unused excursions
Cruise interruption

GHIC cover for over 75s

Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) is valid in the 27 countries within the EU. The GHIC is not a substitute for Over 75 Travel Insurance as it doesn’t provide cover for all circumstances such as repatriation.

Can a 75 year old get Travel Insurance?

Absolutely! An Over 75s Travel Insurance policy includes cover for pre existing medical conditions, accidental damage, cancellation cover and much more. So you can have peace of mind on your holiday.

Are there any age restrictions on your policies?

AllClear policies have no upper age limit, so you can still see the world with our Over 75s Travel Insurance. However, please note that we do not offer cover for winter sports for travellers over 65.

Should you get a Single Trip or Annual Multi-trip policy?

Single Trip Travel Insurance is a policy that covers you for a one-off trip on selected dates. It has the great benefit of allowing you to travel for longer: up to 365 days in one trip!

If you’re planning on getting away a few times in the next 12 months, buying an Annual Multi-trip Travel Insurance policy can provide more value. You will need to check the maximum trip duration for each trip. For example, you can travel up to 45 days per trip on AllClear Gold and Gold Plus annual multi-trip cover. And you can even pay a little more to get an extension for up to 55 days!

How much does Travel Insurance cost for those over 75s?

Several different factors are taken into account when calculating your insurance premium. Your age and any pre-existing medical conditions you have will affect the price. So will the country you are going to and the duration you plan to be there for. In addition, the premium will include any extras that you add to your policy.

What do over 75s need to do to prepare for your trip?

Check the FCDO to ensure your chosen destination is safe to travel to. The FCDO will also detail any entry requirements and vaccinations you may need before you go. Check with your doctor to confirm the precautions you should take and that you’re fit-to-fly. Your GP will also be able to ensure you have enough medication to take with you on your trip.
