For all those Britons who have always had an unquenchable thirst for travel across the seven seas, there is good news in store! The Post Office, after an intensive survey, has found that aged travellers, especially, the over-65s are the most diligent and fearless in pursuing travel trips and plans – both domestically as well as abroad.
This comes as a pleasant surprise for mature travellers, as the recession has already weakened the finances of many.
Over-65 travel insurance had already become a major issue of concern for those travelling out of Britain and to places such as Africa or Asia, where the security issues and health concerns compel the tourists to have a travel insurance cover.
The Post Office has relieved a majority of such world-trekkers, many of whom were risking travel without travel insurance. It has also relieved a lot of stress from the children of parents who are over-eager to travel.
The travel insurance plan for the over-65s from the Post Office comprehensive yet well priced policy. Annual multi-trip over-65 travel insurance policies save the candidates from spending a fortune every time they decide to travel. Apart from the core travel cover for over 65s, additional benefits such as cover for baggage, waiver on excesses or golf cover are also readily available at through the Post Office.
However, the upper limit of their travel insurance has been set at 74. However good these plans may seem, always check the terms and conditions that have been set down by the Post Office before purchasing the travel policy.
The move from one of Britain’s most reputed and organized institutions has been welcomed by one and all, especially, from the older age group. As Rachel Croft, Head of Travel Insurance, Post Office, asserts, “We understand that finding affordable travel insurance can prove difficult for older travellers and can lead to people having to take out policies that impose high costs or heavy stipulations, which is why we are extending our multi-annual travel insurance policy to the over-65s.”
With a good multi-trip travel insurance to cover your back, you are ready to conquer the world, for travelling is an art that is never too late to practice and enjoy!
