Over 75s Travel Insurance | AllClear Travel

Why do you need Holiday Insurance over 75?

Travel Insurance for the over 75 is there to protect travellers just like you against unexpected medical emergencies while away and cancellation costs before you go. This gives you peace of mind so you can enjoy your trip.

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.

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

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.

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.
