Does Travel Insurance go up after 70?
Yes, in many cases, travel insurance premiums can increase for individuals over the age of 70. Insurance companies often consider older travellers to be at a higher risk for health issues or needing medical assistance while abroad, so they may adjust premiums to accommodate these potential risks. Coverage options might also vary between age brackets — it's always worth comparing quotes tailored to your specific needs.
Is there a cut off age for Travel Insurance?
There isn't a universal cut-off age, as it varies among insurance providers. Many insurers offer coverage well into your 80s or even 90s, though premiums may increase with age and coverage options might differ. Some insurers may require medical assessments or have limitations on pre-existing conditions for older travellers, so it's essential to compare policies and use the service of a broker like Brunel where possible.
