One question we get asked a lot is “where can I purchase cheap over 65 travel insurance?” First and foremost avoid the places you will tend to pay a premium for travel insurance – directly from an airlines, travel agents, holiday companies or the high street. If you’re over 65 your best bet for cheap travel insurance is to start your search online. Just remember not all over 65 travel insurance policies are the same.

With travel insurance you usually get what you pay for. If the premium is cheap more than likely you will have less cover, your excess will be higher if you make a claim and the payout amount will more than likely be reduced with cheaper insurance policies.

It’s important to remember to compare over 65 travel insurance policies each time you go on holidays. Just because the insurer you booked through previously was cheap it doesn’t mean it will be the cheapest next time. Travel policy premiums are always fluctuating depending on the coverage you require, the length of time you will be away, your age, pre-existing medical conditions and the level of excess you’re willing to pay. Travel cover prices may also fluctuate as an insurance company manages their risk. Premiums may be higher for a particular group if the insurer is trying to reduce their risk and exposure in that particular area.
