Travelling in your 50s, 60s or beyond? These frequently asked questions explain how travel insurance for people over 50 works, what medical conditions can affect cover, and how to choose the right level of protection for your trip.
Travel insurance for people over 50 works like a standard policy but is designed to meet the needs of mature travellers. It usually includes cover for medical emergencies, trip cancellations, lost baggage and more — often with flexible medical screening and optional extras.
As we age, pre-existing medical conditions become more common and can affect cover or pricing. Policies aimed at people over 50 often provide wider medical protection and allow you to declare existing conditions so they can be considered for cover.
Many insurers cover pre-existing medical conditions if you declare them when you buy your policy. You’ll usually complete a brief health screening to assess risk. Always declare all conditions accurately — not doing so could invalidate your cover.
Some standard travel insurance policies have upper age limits, but many specialist providers offer cover for travellers aged 50 to 80 and beyond. Always check the maximum insurable age before purchasing a policy.
It depends on how often you travel. Single-trip cover is ideal for one holiday, while annual multi-trip policies can save money if you travel several times a year. Both can include medical and cancellation protection suited to older travellers.

The cost depends on factors such as your age, destination, trip length, medical history and level of cover. Premiums usually increase with age, but you can save by comparing quotes and avoiding unnecessary add-ons.
Many insurers include COVID-19 protection for medical expenses, cancellation or quarantine disruptions. Always confirm that your policy specifically lists COVID-19 as an insured event.
Yes, many insurers offer policies for people aged 70 and above, although premiums may be higher and some destinations or activities may be restricted. Specialist providers often offer tailored cover for senior travellers.
