Travel insurance for over 75s with a medical condition
Over 75s are higher risk as they are more likely to have a pre existing medical condition and more likely to fall ill abroad. Therefore, it’s especially important to declare your pre-existing conditions.
Once you do this, you’ll be asked a few questions in relation to the nature of your condition. This enables us to gauge your medical history - and provide you with the most relevant quotes.
Over 75s annual multi-trip or single trip cover
Before getting started, you’ll need to know which type of policy to purchase.
Single trip policies cover you for one trip only, but annual multi trip travel insurance policies can cover multiple trips across the course of a year.
It’s also worth bearing in mind that different providers will generally have their own limits on how long you can be covered per trip.
Are there different levels of over 75s insurance cover?
Again, different providers will have different ways in which they base the different levels of cover they offer.
During comparison, you’ll notice that some providers will offer more cover than others - which will usually be reflected in the price.
You can even upgrade your cover with our optional extras. With us, you can add gadget cover, winter sports cover, or cruise cover to your single trip or annual multi trip policy.
Travel advice for the over 75s
As you get older, planning becomes more important in terms of ensuring you have a comfortable and enjoyable trip.
There are a number of things that you might want to start thinking about:
- Visiting your GP - give them the heads up about where you plan to travel, what activities you’ll be doing and discuss vaccinations if necessary. Don’t forget - you can make use of our GP on Demand service while abroad, too.
- Declaring your pre-existing medical conditions - to ensure you’re fully covered.
- Fully understand everything you need to know about taking medication on holiday.
- Adding optional extras if required (for example, cruise travel insurance is mandatory on some holidays).

Some of our providers are able to offer additional cover, such as cancellation cover should you catch COVID-19 or have to self-isolate because of suspected symptoms before departure. We’ll make it clear who these providers are when you’re comparing quotes so you can choose the policy that is right for you.
This doesn’t apply to all insurance providers, so unless otherwise stated, for all other sections of cover, you wouldn’t be covered if making a claim as a result of COVID-19.
