Alternative to Age UK travel insurance.

Age UK have decided to no longer offer travel insurance. With this news, you won’t want to go away without protection in place.

If something does go wrong, we’ll always aim to put it right. Even more important if you’re living with any pre-existing health conditions.

Why having travel insurance is so important

After just a couple of days on holiday, Carol¹ and her husband received the news that their daughter was admitted to hospital back home.

The couple decided to fly back home to be with their daughter, cutting their holiday short.

Thankfully, Carol had covered their holiday with personalised travel insurance. This meant we were by their side when they needed us the most, and covered the cost for them to get home.

By being covered for cutting her holiday short, Carol could focus on her daughter, knowing we would put things right.

Do I need to have had both my Covid jabs to be covered?

As long as you’ve had the vaccines you’ve been offered for Covid-19, you should be covered. If you haven’t been offered both doses yet or you’re medically exempt then you can also be covered.

If you’ve refused any doses of the vaccine or haven’t been able to have a dose you’ve been offered, you won’t be covered.

Has Age UK stopped selling travel insurance?

With Age UK having stopped selling travel insurance, you may be concerned if you relied on them for cover. But don’t worry – help is at hand.

If you’re in search of an alternative travel insurance provider, you’ve come to the right place. With our travel insurance, you can go away knowing you’re supported by specialists in covering pre-existing health conditions.

Whether you’re off on a European city break or off on a cruise, you can personalise your travel insurance policy to meet your medical and health needs.

Do I need to declare my health conditions on my travel insurance?

It’s important that you let us know of any pre-existing health conditions you have, when you buy your travel insurance.

The unexpected can crop up at any time and emergency healthcare abroad can be very pricey. With our help, you can go on holiday knowing that you’ll be supported should something go wrong on your travels.

We offer unlimited medical cover with our Deluxe policies meaning you’ll have peace of mind when you’re away. When we say your health conditions are covered by your travel insurance, they’re covered.

If you forget to let us know about a health condition you have, this may affect the validity of your policy and the likelihood of your claim being accepted if you needed us.
