Over 65's Travel Insurance

We have explored various travel insurers and compiled our most important travel insurance tips for Over 65’s Travel Insurance.

Over 65’s Travel Insurance is exactly what it says it is; holiday insurance specifically if you are aged 65 years old and over. When you are booking your trip to Australia always check the age criteria of any travel insurance provider. You will find that companies offering standard Single Trip Travel Insurance Cover and Annual Multi – Trip Travel Insurance Cover do not cover those of a mature age.

From an insurance companies point of view, providing insurance to the over 65’s is riskier due to possible health expenses, which when abroad can be sky – high. The Foreign Office states that it would cost £35,000 for an air ambulance on the East coast USA, which gives you a good sense of the costs involved.

The most important aspect of taking any travel insurance is to be completely honest and declare any pre- existing medical conditions; otherwise it could be costly when the insurance company won’t pay up. It’s also worth noting that some prescribed medications which are legal in this country can actually be classed as illegal in other countries, so it’s worth checking before you travel and taking a doctor’s note.

If you are looking to save some pennies then you will find the over 65’s single trip policies tend to be cheaper than the annual multi cover but any policy will increase in £’s with age. The cheapest travel insurance doesn’t always mean the best; assess your own needs and ensure the cover you choose is adequate for what you are planning to do in Oz.
