Travel insurance advice

[Jugster]

Hi
with 2022 looming and our desire to travel to France again, can any funsters recommend travel insurance companies/ prices for a person who is just about to creep past the 70 years of age mark? Bearing in mind the 90 day ruling. Most only want to insure you for 50 days.

had some quotes and I haven’t stopped laughing yet!!!

thank you.

We have only ever had the EHIC card

Find out if you're eligible to apply for a new UK EHIC or UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC).

Hi, I'm also researching for a 90 day trip for a 60 and 72 year old with a couple of declared medical conditions. Saga came in at around £730 but by far the best was the Insurance with the Nationwide bank account. Sadly this is the last time we can use it on the free Flex account as they are removing this benefit to only being available through the £13 a month Flex Plus account. However as the quote was for £324 it still makes sense for us to upgrade to the Flex Plus for next year. You also get breakdown cover and mobile phone insurance with it.
I also had some eye watering quotes on comparison sites.

Have a look at Staysure. Just had a quote from them for annual insurance ( 50 days) which is pretty keen. I noticed there was an option to extend it for 100 day trip for about £55.

Another vote for Nationwide. They can adjust premium to suit your required travel duration per trip. We elected for 70 days, so hope the UK will let us back in on 11th November!

Go on any of the comparison sites such as Go Compare, Moneysupermarket etc and ask for a new quote, fill in the details as they ask for them, age, medical conditions, destination, duration etc.

Make sure you select 'No' in the 'can anyone contact you regarding these quotes' box or you will get all and sundry ringing you about insurance!

Hit the search button and they will email you all the quotes.

Last time we went overseas in 2019 it cost us about £2 a day for 108 days with, of all people, Debenhams, including a couple of 'minor' medical declarations

As already mentioned, we find Staysure are reasonable.

We have searched far and wide for cover and decided the best value is Nationwide Flex Plus, With age supplement addition and a couple of medical conditions the multi trip cover is £332. for 120 days per trip, plus £156 for the Flex Plus account. When you compare Lloyds Platinum @£252 plus £396 for 90 days cover and the fact they will not insure anyone of 80+ it's no contest.
