Elderly/OAP Travel Insurance

Many online providers such as CityBond (Solid Insurance) now provide instant quotes for elderly people over 64 and 65, 74 and 75, 79 and 80, 89 and 90, even up to 120.

CityBond provide a single trip policy with no upper age limit, an annual multi trip policy up to age 85! Plus they have a clear medical assessement process for people with pre existing medical conditions such as heart problems, diabetes and physical disabilities.

Low Cost Travel Insurance

It's now cheaper to buy holiday travel insurance on the internet than anywhere else.

You have to buy before you leave the UK - most insurers won't offer cover you once you've left your departure point.

Before you buy, check that there's a cooling-off period - that is, a money-back guarantee, if you decide you don't want the policy and want to cancel.
Normally the cooling-off period is 14 days.

It's worth checking, too, whether you can get a lower cost travel insurance policy by buying joint cover if you're travelling as a couple.

Some insurers insist that you share the same address, others are more easy going.

Or, if there are more of you, ask about group travel insurance cover.

It'll work out a lot cheaper in the long run.

Not for all though

If you are confused by the array of deals on offer use one of the free 0800 travel insurance companies to clarify their policy options, details or small print.

• Broken limb or back trouble
• Accute viral infection
• Mental health issue such as depression
