Over 70s Travel Insurance FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Travel Insurance for people over 70.

What is over 70s Travel Insurance?

Travel Insurance for over 70s is designed to keep you protected while you are on holiday, and leading up to your trip.

Standard Travel Insurance policies may have upper-age limits and not cover certain age groups, especially those over 70 with pre-existing medical conditions.

Just Travel Cover works with a wide range of Travel Insurance providers to provide policies with no upper age limit for those over 70 as we believe age should not be a barrier to travel.

How much does over 70s Travel Insurance cost?

How much you pay for over 70 Travel Insurance is not just based on your age, but also on where you’re going, for how long, whether the trip includes a cruise and your medical history. It also depends what level of cover you want/need – for example if your holiday costs £5,000 you only need £5,000 cancellation cover, but if the holiday costs £30,000 you’re likely going to want to ensure your insurance covers it.

When you get a quote from Just Travel Cover you will see a list of policies, sorted by price, based on your own circumstances, so we’re comparing prices for you to find the best possible deal from our insurers. If you do require a higher cancellation limit for example, you would need to speak to a member of our team directly to arrange. It may be the case that over 70s Travel Insurance is more expensive, but it depends on a case-by-case basis.

If you’re going on a cruise, we offer Cruise Travel Insurance for over 70s. Reach out to one of our experts to discuss your options today.

When should you purchase your over 70s Travel Insurance?

As Martin Lewis recommends, you should buy over 70s Travel Insurance ASAB, as soon as you have booked your trip – that’s because on single trip policies, cancellation cover starts immediately, so if something happens that means you can no longer go on your holiday, you may be able to claim back the money you have paid. On annual policies cancellation cover starts on the day your policy starts, which can be up to 90 days in the future. If you are over 70, this is the best way to ensure you are fully covered by your Travel Insurance. Terms apply. If you are over 70, this is the best way to ensure you are fully covered by your Travel Insurance.

The price can also be impacted by the amount of cover you want/need, for example, if your holiday costs £30,000 you will need more cover than if it was £3,000.  We’ll compare prices from a range of insurers with bronze, silver and gold options,
