Buying travel insurance is a vital component of planning a holiday, no matter where you are going and no matter what your age.
Unfortunately when you are a senior citizen getting affordable travel insurance for your holiday, or even getting travel insurance at all, can become more difficult. Many travel insurance companies keep their prices low by not providing cover to higher risk travellers, such as those over the age of 65. So, if you are over 65 you may need to do more shopping around than your younger counterparts to find a policy that suits your needs.
Fortunately there are travel insurance companies out there that can help, with policies specifically designed for the senior traveller. You can also get cover for any pre-existing medical conditions that you may have, by completing a simple medical screening questionnaire that can be done online for instant cover.
No matter what your age, you should remember to declare any pre-existing medical conditions when you buy your travel insurance. If you don't you may find that you are not covered when you come to make a claim that is related to that condition.
