Yes, in most cases you can get travel insurance if you are over 65 years old.Turning 65 should not create hurdles when getting insurance for your holiday. But it should be one of the reasons why you take a few extra minutes to make sure you are covered for everything you need, including any medical conditions you may have. Just let us know your age when taking out a quote and we’ll point you in the direction of a policy most suited to your travel needs.

the cost of a travel insurance policy may vary depending a number of factors. these include your age, your overall health, where you plan to travel to, how long you plan to travel for and the type of activities you plan on taking part in during your trip. any medical conditions you have may also influence the overall price of your policy, which is why some people find that their policy prices increase slightly as they get older.

the best insurance policy for over 65s is the one most suitable to you and your travel needs.

cancellation cover for before you travel, medical expenses when abroad and personal possessions are covered as standard across the majority of our policies, but make sure to let us know during the quote process about the things you plan to get up to on your trip (such as going on a cruise or taking part in any specific activities) and we’ll make sure to only present you with the policies that match your trip needs.

yes, you can get annual or multi trip travel insurance if you are aged over 65. annual or multi trip travel insurance is a good option for anyone who plans to travel more than once a year, as they can often work out cheaper than buying several single trip policies. however, it’s worth knowing that most policies will have a limit on the length of holiday you can go on at any time (for example, you may only be able to go abroad for a maximum of 31 days per trip).

We believe that having a medical condition shouldn’t stop you from enjoying a trip abroad. Plus, with specialist medical brands available on our panel at Albert & Eddie, we can confidently say that we will consider cover for most medical conditions.Cover for medical conditions does not come as standard on most travel insurance policies and so you will need to let us know if you have any medical conditions to declare during the quote process (this could be anything from something you take medication for such as high blood pressure, to something you see your GP or a consultant for).Declaring a medical condition(s) is easy to do and can be completed both online and over the phone. Just answer our short set of questions during the quote process to help us determine the most appropriate policy for you. For more complex conditions, we may ask that you call us to provide us a little more information around your condition and overall health.
