One of the most off-putting things for the elderly when it comes to travelling and going on holidays is being able to secure affordable travel insurance for the over 80s. As you get older unfortunately the travel insurance industry sees you as more of a risk, particularly so if you have pre-existing medical conditions or have suffered with illness.
We recommend looking a little further afield from the usual holiday hotspots of Spain and Greece. Croatia is rapidly becoming a preferred destination for older Britons as is neighbouring Slovenia which offers lakes and gorgeous accessible mountains for all ages.
Listed below are a selection of travel insurance providers for the elderly.
