Travel insurance for older travellers

Eligibility, medical assessment and benefits for older travellers depend on the insurer and the planned journey.

Eligibility, medical assessment and benefits for older travellers depend on the insurer and the planned journey.

The distinction that matters

Age acceptance does not mean every existing condition or trip duration is covered.

What to check

  • Disclose medical conditions accurately.
  • Check age and trip limits.
  • Compare evacuation and accompanying-person benefits.

Example to discuss

An older traveller with a stable heart condition requests a medical assessment and written confirmation before departure.

This is a hypothetical comparison, not a customer claim or a determination of cover.
