Over 65s Travel Insurance
Whoever said that travelling is only for the young was totally out of touch with the modern world. Today’s so-called ‘senior citizens’ are fitter and stronger than their predecessors, and 70 is definitely the new 40! However, as we get older, some of us may have problems obtaining reasonably priced travel insurance.
At Holidaysafe we believe that more mature travellers shouldn’t be discriminated against simply because of their age, which is why we offer a range of policies suitable for Over 65s.

Over 65s Travel Insurance Benefits
- Single Trip policies with no upper age limits and Multi Trip policies for anyone 79 and under (*depending on your age, trip duration and destination of choice).
- A range of policies, cover levels and extensions are available, so you can tailor your policy to suit your needs. (Please note, if you’re planning a cruise you will need to purchase our Cruise Extension, otherwise you will not be covered for Cruising).
- Cover for UK, European and Worldwide destinations available.
- Cover for cancellation, medical emergencies, repatriation, personal belongings, cash, travel documents and much more.
- Discounts for couples and children under 18 are covered for free on our family policy (this includes Grandchildren).
Travel Insurance for Over 65s with Existing Medical Conditions
At Holidaysafe we understand that everyone has some type of medical history, whether that be broken bones, ongoing but stable conditions like asthma and diabetes or more serious illnesses like cancer. Our specialist Protectif medical risk rating service allows us to more accurately assess an individual’s circumstances, allowing it to more accurately assess the risks and offer a fairer price, so you can ensure all your conditions are covered.
