Travel Insurance for Travellers Over 80
Travelling is a lifelong passion, and age should never limit your exploration. However, taking out travel insurance should be a priority if you’re over 80.
You will be able to relax, knowing you are covered for medical issues and other emergencies abroad. Some travel insurance providers will impose upper age limits on their policies, yet plenty do not, and some companies even specialise in travel insurance for seniors.
At Brunel, we understand the unique needs and desires of travellers over 80. Our travel insurance is designed to ease your worries and provide peace of mind around the uncertainties when travelling later in life, each step of the way.
Can You Get Travel Insurance If You Are Aged Over 80?
Our over-80s travel insurance does not have an upper age limit. It is designed to ease the worries about travelling in the later stages of your life so travellers over 80 enjoy a getaway with peace of mind.
What Does Travel Insurance For Over 80s Cover?
Travelling in your 80s shouldn’t be stressful, nor should it be difficult. You should be able to enjoy your time away and be excited about the adventures ahead.
Such a policy can cover you for:
- Medical Cover and Expenses: Wide-ranging medical cover can ensure you’re protected against unexpected illnesses or injuries during your travels. This can include against any pre-existing medical conditions (subject to policy terms and conditions).
- Holiday Cancellation: Sometimes plans change. Our insurance covers trip cancellations due to most unforeseen circumstances, providing reimbursement for non-refundable expenses.
- Lost Baggage and Personal Belongings: We understand the value of your belongings. Our insurance can safeguard your baggage and personal items against loss, theft, or damage.
- 24/7 Assistance: Travel uncertainties can arise at any time. With round-the-clock assistance, help is just a call away, with most policies ensuring you receive immediate support whenever and wherever you need it.
- Travel Delays and Disruption: Insurance can cover any additional costs paid if you miss a flight due to reasons out of your control, such as severe weather.
What Isn’t Covered By Over-80s Travel Insurance?
This will depend on your insurance provider and policy details, but typically, travel insurance for those over 80 will not cover:
- Undeclared Medical Conditions: It is important to disclose your full medical history to allow Brunel to provide the best cover in a medical emergency.
- Missed Flights Within Your Control: Unfortunately we cannot cover missed flights due to personal errors.
- Changing Your Mind: Should you wish to cancel your holiday as you have changed your mind, we cannot cover this.
- High-Risk Activities: If you wish to go on holiday and partake in high-risk activities, you must let Brunel know. You may need to add extra coverage to include some activities such as Winter Sports Cover.
Remember that policies will vary and the above is not an exhaustive list. Whatever is on your holiday checklist, make sure that you check your policy carefully and understand exactly what your travel insurance covers.
How Much Will Over-80s Travel Insurance Cost?
The total price of your over-80s travel insurance will depend on various factors such as where you are travelling, your age, your medical history and the type of cover you are looking for.
What Types of Travel Insurance Can I Get?
Depending on your holiday plans, you can choose between single-trip travel insurance and an annual policy.
An annual multi-trip travel insurance policy can save you money if you wish to go abroad more than once within the next 12 months. An annual travel insurance policy will cover you over multiple trips within the year, yet there will be a limit on the number of days you can be abroad.
You may find that you have a greater choice of insurance policies if you opt for a single-trip travel insurance policy as some providers won’t offer annual policies to those over 80, to those with serious pre-existing medical conditions or for longer trips
Speaking to an expert will allow you to get the advice you need and find the right policy for your requirements.
