What factors should I consider when choosing a Travel Insurance policy as an over 85s traveller?
When choosing a travel insurance policy as an over 85s traveller, it’s important to consider your unique needs and circumstances. Consider the amount of cancellation cover you need (i.e. how much your holiday costs) and ensure the policy covers that – remember, our cover limits are per person. You’ll also want to consider the excess you’ll need to pay in the event of a claim. Make sure you print the documents and take them with you, or at least make a note of the medical assistance number and claim information.

Each insurer we work with has different age limits and terms, but we’ll only show you policies that can cover you, after you enter your personal details online, or over the phone.
How much does Travel Insurance for over 85s typically cost?
The cost of travel insurance is not just based on your age. Insurers will consider the destination you’re travelling to, for how long, and your medical history. It will also depend on whether you want a single trip policy or annual cover. Often there’ll be more than one choice, so look out for the different limits, additional cover options and the excess you’ll need to pay.
