Over 75 Advice

We believe that age shouldn’t limit your desire to explore the world. However, travelling when you’re over 75 means considering accessibility to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable holiday. With planning and preparation, you can embark on an accessible adventure that caters to your specific needs. Here are some practical tips for planning an accessible trip if you’re over 75.

1. Research your destination: Look for destinations with accessible facilities, transportation, and attractions that accommodate your needs. Use online resources and travel guides to identify accessible hotels, restaurants, and attractions.

2. Book accessible accommodation: Ensure your accommodation has appropriate facilities, such as wheelchair access if you need it, grab bars, and walk-in showers, if required.

3. Plan transportation: Research transportation options, like accessible taxis, buses, and trains, at your destination. If necessary, arrange for special assistance when booking flights.

4. Seek expert advice: Reach out to accessible travel agencies or local organisations that specialise in providing information and assistance to travellers with specific needs.

5. Prepare for emergencies: Make a list of nearby medical facilities and emergency services, and share your itinerary with a trusted friend or family member.

6. Secure suitable Travel Insurance: Finding appropriate and affordable Travel Insurance can be more difficult when you’re over 75. Many banks and mainstream providers have age caps or do not cover pre-existing medical conditions. That’s why we are here to help with single trip policies and annual cover available for over 75s with no age limit and cover for pre-existing conditions.
