How often can you travel with over 60's travel insurance?
With our over 60’s annual multi-trip travel insurance, you can take any number of trips during the year. Rather than needing to tell us exactly where you’ll be, you only need to select your preferred region of the cover.
However, there are restrictions on the length of time you can be away for any one trip. You can see the maximum trip duration for each of our providers here.
Where can you travel to with AllClear’s over 60's travel insurance?
We cover all destinations. For a single trip policy, simply enter the name of the country you are visiting. For an annual policy, you have three regions to choose from: Europe, Worldwide excluding North America, and Worldwide including North America.
How is the cost of over 60's travel insurance calculated?
A number of variable factors are taken into consideration when calculating premiums. These include: The destination to which you are travelling (for example, Spain, the United States and Canada are among the more expensive countries in which to receive medical treatment); The duration of your trip; The type and severity of your medical conditions; Your age and the level of benefits being offered to you.
Quote premiums may vary by provider because they may offer different levels of cover, excesses and upgrades.
How do you know you are ‘Fit to travel’?
You don’t need to provide us with a certificate from your doctor, but you will need to confirm you’re fit to travel at the time of getting a quote or purchasing a policy. If you need to make a claim, you may require a letter from your doctor confirming that you were fit to travel at the time you purchased your policy, and the date when you were declared unfit to travel.
What if you purchase an over 60's travel policy then your medical conditions change?
If you’ve purchased an over 60’s travel policy and you need to amend something to do with your declared medical conditions then simply get in touch at the earliest possible opportunity and we will update your details.
It’s important to let us know any changes before you travel to ensure your policy is the most up to date and you’re still covered.
Do you need over 60's travel insurance if you have an EHIC?
With the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) you will receive treatment in any of the EU’s 28 states as a local citizen. However, this is based on treatments received in public, not private hospitals.
The EHIC isn’t a substitute for travel insurance. It doesn’t cover you for:
The costs of rescue and repatriation (an air ambulance from Spain back to the UK costs upwards of £10,000). Lost or stolen property such as passports, baggage or precious items. Losses from trip cancellation, curtailment and interruption. Extra travel and accommodation costs due to illness. Any medical coverage outside of the EU.
