Insurance Tips for Senior Travellers
You’ve chosen your destination and may have even booked some bargain flights online, looking forward to your holiday, lying in the sun, sipping Sangria and soaking up the rays. But are you a senior traveler and have you arranged your senior travel insurance?
Travellers who are over 64 years old can often encounter difficulty obtaining travel insurance. Many insurance providers are less keen to offer travel insurance to people over the age of 64 for a number of reasons. They don’t want to take unnecessary risks. They are in the business of making money and would like nothing more than to never pay out for insurance claims. But senior travelers present additional risks due to their age, possibly declining health and maybe pre-existing medical conditions.
So what can you do as a senior traveler? The first thing to do is not to leave it too late. Make a start in looking around for your travel insurance policy as soon as you can. The more time you have then the more chance you have of finding the right policy at the best price.
Always start by contacting your existing insurance provider. If you already have life insurance cover or maybe health insurance then approach your provider and ask about their senior travel insurance policies. And if you have a pre-existing medical condition find out if they provide pre-existing medical condition travel insurance.
It is always prudent to shop around. Take the figures that your insurance provider gives you and then shop around. There are some experienced senior insurance providers who may be able to beat the prices quoted by other, non-specialist providers.
Once you have found a policy and provider that you are happy with why not consider purchasing multi-trip travel insurance. Save yourself time and aggravation by taking out a multi-trip travel insurance policy that will cover your next holiday as well.
Whatever you do, always be honest and open with your prospective travel insurance provider. Its never a good idea to lie about your age and its important to provide complete details of your health status and any pre-existing medical conditions that you might have. And have a great holiday.
