“Fantastic service by Kelly. We are first time cruisers, and my mother will be 80 years young when finally our long-awaited holiday comes around. After being told by many companies that 80 is over the age requirements, speaking to AllClear was like a breath of fresh air as Kelly assisted me with all our insurance needs. First-class! Definitely recommend, and we will use it again for our future trips.” – Wendy.

GHIC cover for Over 80s
The GHIC replaces the EHIC and ensures that UK residents still receive the same care as citizens of that country while travelling in Europe.
However, the GHIC does not cover all medical costs that may occur while you are away. It’s essential to also have a comprehensive Travel Insurance policy before you leave the UK.
Over 80’s Travel Tips
From deciding where you want to visit to which activities you’ll be up to, planning for a holiday can be very exciting! But there’s so much to think about…
- See your doctor before you travel: Before you travel, it can be a good idea to see your GP to talk through your travel plans. They’ll be able to tell you if they have any concerns about you travelling or they’ll declare you fit to travel. Seeing your doctor before travelling is also a good idea if you take regular medication.
- Travelling by plane: If you’re travelling by plane, take advantage of what your airline can offer you to make your trip easier and more comfortable. Priority boarding might be a good option to avoid the hustle and bustle of everyone boarding the plane all at once. If you have trouble walking or standing for long periods, you might be able to request a wheelchair at the airport or be taken to your terminal by wheelchair. This will save you standing around or walking to your terminal, especially if your terminal is a 15-minute walk away.
- Staying healthy when abroad: Aim to drink plenty of water and remain well hydrated, especially if you’re going to a hot country with high temperatures. While excursions and days out can be great when you’re on holiday, don’t feel you have to see and do everything if you know there’s a chance you might overexert yourself. However, you can still embrace adventure as a travelling senior.
Frequently asked questions for Holiday Insurance over 80
How much is Travel Insurance for over 80s?
Several factors are considered when calculating Travel Insurance premiums for those over 80s. The destination to which you are travelling is a primary factor. For example, Spain, the United States, and Canada are among the more expensive countries to receive medical treatment, resulting in a higher premium. Other factors include; the duration of your trip and the type and severity of your medical conditions. Age is also taken into consideration.
Which Travel Insurance for over 80s?
Over 80s Travel Insurance can be bought as an Annual-Multitrip policy or as a single trip policy.
Single trips for over 80’s Travel Insurance work well when you only have one trip planned. Where your travel plans include several trips in any twelve-month period, then it is likely that an Annual Multi-trip over 80’s Travel Insurance policy could be a more cost-effective option.
As specialist providers, our AllClear Gold and AllClear Gold Plus policies have no age limits, whether you opt for a single trip or an annual multi-trip policy.
